Keady Family, Wonthaggi, mid 1930s

The photo below is the only known family portrait which includes the whole family. Given the youngest member of the family George, (standing centre front) looks like he is in his early teens, the photo was probably taken about 1935.

Neither the occasion or location are noted on the photo, although it sure looks like the front verandah of 51 Cameron Street, Wonthaggi.

The quality of the photo is not bad after some repair work to remove small scratches and dust, unfortunately it looks like Thomas and Jack in the back row have moved slightly when the photo was being taken. Their faces are a little blurred and this can’t be fixed.

Get in touch if you would like a high quality copy.
