With summer on the horizon Picture Queensland has recently uploaded a series of photographs of beach goers enjoying the sun, sand and surf, with a special emphasis on beach costume.
The photographs highlight the changing fashions of the time; from the modesty of the neck to knee fashions of the early 1900s to the cheeky bikinis of the 1960s.
Tweed Heads, 1920-1930. John Oxley Library Image No: 45310
