This image is from a collection of photographs taken on the 27th November 1988 at the Surfest '88 event held at Newcastle Beach, Australia.

The images were shot by Chris Patterson for Hannan Photography, who were engaged to record the event by Peach Advertising on behalf of the Surfest sponsors B.H.P. (The Broken Hill Proprietary Company Ltd).

The images were scanned from the original 35 mm colour negatives, at 3200 dpi using an Epson Perfection V700 Scanner. They comprised sheets labeled under the original numbering sequence of CN8764. (CN=Colour Negative). The original negatives are held in Special Collections at the Auchmuty Library, University of Newcastle (Australia).

You are welcome to use the image for study and personal research purposes. Please acknowledge as "Photograph by Chris Patterson, Courtesy of the Hannan Photography Archive, University of Newcastle (Australia)"
