The year is 1909, and a group of talented photographers known as "The Band" are gathered here to capture the breathtaking beauty of this coastal gem. Among them stands T. Mitchell, his presence adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. As we gaze upon this historic image, captured by renowned photographer Herbert Hughes, we can almost feel the salty sea breeze on our faces and hear the crashing waves against the rugged cliffs.
