The picture below, which is entitled West side of the Bluff or Rosetta Head looking from King's Beach was taken by Ernest Gall, a professional photographer based in Adelaide. The photo was made in 1906.

Surprisingly, Gall is not mentioned in this resource/archive constructed by the Art Gallery of South Australia, which builds on the R.J. Noye Collection of Photography.This collection presents only the research that Noye had uploaded to the site prior to his death and is therefore incomplete. Nor is Gall mentioned in the Photo-Web archive. His photos of Adelaide can be found at the National Library of Australia's Trove collection.
I'm interested in this picture because I know this section of the southern Fleurieu Peninsula well, as it is were we often walk the dogs when we are down at Victor Harbor. There are not many late 19th C or early 20thC pictures of this coastline on the web.
