Just going on what can be gleaned from the digitised newspapers, I think this pic must have been taken in ca. 1909-10 --------------------------------------------------------------- Some date markers: 1) The bandstand in the middle of the tram loop was evidently built/completed in ca. 1909...possibly by about mid year... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/15033090 - SMH, 3rd February, 1909...see notice towards bottom of first column... 'TENDERS are hereby invited up to 4 p.m. on MONDAY the 8th FEBRUARY for the completion of the BAND STAND at Coogee Bay. Plans and Specifications at Town Clerk s office. The lowest or any tender not necessarily accepted. Tenders to be under cover, and endorsed "Tender for Band Stand" E. H STRACHAN Town Clerk Town Hall, Randwick, January 29th, 1909 ' -------------------------------------------------------------- 2) There's no sign of the Coogee Surf Club clubhouse...it was built in ca. early-mid 1910... -------------------------------------------------------------- 3) The 'Figure Eight' roller coaster ride which appears here behind the roof opened in October 1907...it evidently continued operating until 1912... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/238264130 - the Daily Telegraph, 14th October, 1907...item on the opening of the 'Figure Eight' the previous Saturday... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/114808962 - the Evening News, 2nd May, 1912...brief item on the demolition of the 'Figure Eight'...

Funny that the kids have bare feet, but the adults don't.

I love the umbrellas - as though it's about to rain!

So many things have changed since that time but we still love having fun at the beach.

They *are* umbrellas too. Perhaps they couldn't afford parasols. It's strange how no one's actually in the water, just paddling. It's easy to forget a lot of people couldn't swim back then.
