This great cover sleeve shot was taken by Sydney jazz musician and photographer Ron Falson in the early 1960s and used on the Australian All Stars beach inspired album Jazz for Beachniks Vol 2. Fortunately for us his daughter Ann Louise has dug out Ron’s own copy and is happy to lend it for the exhibition.
According to Murray Walding in Surforama, the boys in the background standing beside the balsa ‘pigs’ are Sydney surfers Mick Hall and Nipper Williams, waiting no doubt to split this hodad scene and get a few waves in before dark.
