Paul, Mark and Desrae Hamon on a pebble beach, southern Adelaide, c. 1984

Two boys and a woman sit on a pebble beach, smiling at the camera, southern Adelaide coast, c. 1984. Digitally restored version. — Paul Hamon, Mark Hamon and their mother Desrae Hamon sit among pebbles on a southern Adelaide beach around 1984. Paul (left) wears a blue striped T-shirt and brown trousers; Mark (centre) is in a light T-shirt; Desrae wears a blue shirt, shorts and a green visor. The exact beach is uncertain but is consistent with locations such as Hallett Cove, Marino Rocks, or the area around Christies Beach, where the family sometimes stayed at the caravan park. Photograph by Howard Hamon. The restored version has been cleaned, colour-corrected and upscaled with generative AI while preserving the original expressions and setting.
