This photo was discovered being used as a backing to another picture. It’s not in great shape and with some Photoshop skills I could probably improve it…however that’s not my strength.
What I do know is that my grandfather, Denis Kunkel, is in the centre of the photo with an older man’s hand on his shoulder. Another man, front left, looks very like my father so I can only assume (yes, I know) that he’s a Kunkel relative. I have a hypothesis on the young woman beside him but….
It’s very likely that the photograph was taken on the Darling Downs in Queensland where Kunkel and Gavin relatives lived. However, I don’t have a clue who the people are, or why they’re gathered. Is it an extended family group, or perhaps a society of some sort?
I keep hoping someone will recognise one of their relatives in the photo and let me know. “If at first you don’t succeed, try try again“. Please let me know if you even think one of them might be someone you know.
Family history across the seas 
It’s a very formal photo but the fellow in front looks like he’s photobombing it making it a bit incongruous. Hope you find out more.

So frustrating to find old photos with no information on them. Good luck with finding some clues.

What an interesting photo. I had a badly degraded one I uploaded to the Free photorestoration group here http://www.rootschat.com/forum/free-photo-restoration/ and they did a wonderful job. Might be worth a try to get a clearer picture.

Great photo so I hope a photography group can improve the quality for you. Maybe put the photo up on our GSQ Image Gallery page? It is an under-used resource with only a handful of photos on it, but someone may stumble on it.
