By Freya Noble and Lillian Radulova A group of friends soaking up the golden Australian sun, laughing as they fish with sticks by a campsite and showing off a shark caught in shallow waters. These are the stunning images which give a beautiful insight and rare context into Sunbaker, the iconic 1930s photograph which best represented Australia's unique beach culture. The quintessentially Australian image, snapped my Max Dupain, has been revealed to have come from a collection of 108 other photographic prints from a group camping trip down the New South Wales south coast. They were put together into an album by Dupain's good friend, architect Chris Vandyke, and hidden away in the dark room at his home for many years.
