<p>A large group, predominantly women, standing among blossoming trees and holding small branches of blossoms. It is possible they are a tour group. From the mid 1930s-1950s Almond blossom tours in Marion were popular. Bus loads of people would come from interstate from July through to August to walk among the blossoms. 
</p><p>According to the City of Marion​ website "During the 1930s the Marion district produced one third of the almonds grown in Australia."

And each proud tree her floral crown,
Alluringly displays.
