| Description : |
Children paddling in the sea near a jetty at a beach in South Australia. Only the boy at far right appears to be in bathers. The others enjoy the water in their normal clothing and most wear hats to protect them from the sun. Adelaide's metropolitan beaches have always been popular in the hot summer weather and the shallows near or under the jetties remain a favoured spot. |
