Volume VI, Number 5, June 1908 Review Contains an article by Alexander Hume Ford, Australia Through American Eyes (pages 466 to 470), with two photographs detailing early 20th century Australian beach culture in Sydney. Alexander Hume Ford was an enthusiastic promoter of surfriding and is best known as the instigator of the Outrigger Canoe Club at Waikiki in 1908, probably on his return from Australia.
