    Wow what a great scene....

    I think a more apt title would be "Land Yacht on Coolangatta Beach". Great image.
  • State Library of Queensland said:
    Thanks for that title suggestion, Geoff. Yes, it is definitely a type of land yacht or sand yacht.
  • geoffd said:
    With those skinny tires, I'd hate to hit loose sand at speed.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Whoops! Just changed the link to the good ol' Trove record. That should do it! They don't look ready for a surf do they? ;)

Coolangatta

from Powerhouse Museum

  • Brett Matthews said:
    Is this the Coolangatta Estate near Berry on the NSW South Coast? I know that property reasonably well, but I'm not certain this is it. Can the museum confirm the location? I know the current owners of the property and they would be very interested in this picture.
  • Brett Matthews said:
    I sent a copy to the owners, they have confirmed that this is the Coolangatta Estate near Berry NSW. They estimate that the photo was taken from what is now Bolong Road, near the turnoff to Shoalhaven Heads.
