  7. Came across this photo with the description "Safety Beach races, Dromana", ( Victoria, Australia.) I was born 1953 in the Dromana hospital, just across the road from the beach. Description goes on to mention the two ladies had their hair done in that style as otherwise the helmets would'nt fit. Early girl power :D
