There's just so much to love about this photo from the Newcastle Morning Herald, 20th June 1960.

Submitted to Lost Newcastle by Don Keevers, these lads are the 1st Port Hunter Sea Scouts and a couple of Scouts from Gloucester on a raft they built at Glenrock.

Don writes, "From left to right Greg Teudt, Ron Bussel, ?, ?, Chris Pollard, ?, ?, Henry "Doc" Gonera and me. (Must've forgotten to pack a comb!)"

We also loved the colourised version provided by Lostie Derek Philipson which really brings it to life.

Can we identify all the lads in this photo?
