The Esplanade, Coogee

  • Michael Sutton said:
    Cool photo, I think I may have just found my new assignment topic.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    @ Michael Sutton (was Sutto 007) - How did your assignment go? Anything to share?! The electric tram (1902+), the height of the Norfolk pines, Edwardian dress, the organised bathing, and the jaunty typeface style indicate c.1905.

    The bandstand in the middle of the tram loop (seen here right of the pine tree) was evidently erected/completed in ca. 1909... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/15033090 - SMH, 3rd February, 1909...see notice towards bottom of first column...

Upper Esplanade and bay views, Sandgate, ca. 1907

    good!
  • GurtyGurt said:
    I've noticed the Brisbane Courier has lots of references to Flinders Parade as "Lower Esplanade" and present-day Eagle Terrace as "Upper Esplanade". There's a few other street names that don't seem to exist - Maxwell Street and Slaughter Street. Also Kate Street is referred to as being by the waterfront, so I assume Pier Avenue/Pier Street was Kate Street before the pier was built.

"Street scene, featuring terraced housing and pedestrians : possibly a promenade" is Warrenpoint
