Les and Mabel Dobson - when do you think this was taken?
« on: Thursday 01 November 07 19:24 GMT (UK) »
I wonder if our Aussie cousins can give me an idea for the date of this photograph?  I think it could possibly be 1936 when Mabel travelled out to Adelaide on her own to meet her husband Les and settle down in South Australia.  I am sure that is a ship in the background so maybe they had photographers waiting to snap people as they disembarked or perhaps I'm just being fanciful?
 
All thoughts appreciated,
Regards, Abiam

Hi Abiam,
it looks like a ship to me, and the date, 1936, looks right for what they are wearing.
