26/06/2005: "HARD HAT PEARL DIVER in bronze"
Early morning in Broome's Chinatown.....the bronze statue leaning forward to depict a diver battling a strong current underwater. Broome is the pearling capital with this expensive life size statue a tribute to the pioneering days (before Dale Chapman and Co got the divers onto hookah/scuba equipment and put hard hats into museums).
