A day at the park?

This photo is of my grandfather Tobias Hunter, his wife Maud (seated) holding one of their two children ( Nora ) Iris. My mother ( Iris ) is standing between them. The location is based on much research and comparing photos and maps, I’m making an educated guess of Kowloon, possibly “Kings Park” area or maybe further out. 

Another possibility is the Recreation Grounds across from the “Moreton Terrace” property as shown in the previous post. They have tennis rackets and there are lines on the grass that could mark off a court area.

 The Asian women in the photo are still unknown and will probably remain so but it’s worth noting that one is also seated alongside my grandmother, something I would take as a sign of respect, and maybe indicating her position as something other than help? One other item of note in the picture, is the “dog” It shows up again in another photo.



The mat-sheds are another important aspect. I have another photo that shows there were more than one so they were obviously quite permanent and must have been available as either rentals or maybe were owned by families?
