Laying the Pacific Cable from Bondi, Sydney to Auckland, New Zealand

    Possibly November 1912 at Bondi, according to this slightly tongue-in-cheek SMH report with illustrations - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/15376333 .

    beachcomber australia Thanks beachcomber! I think you're right. Just updating the details now. :)

    [https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Ah, just realised you'd already done the digging about Cleary. Yes, as I understand it, Hood was the one actually taking the photographs but the contract was under Cleary...It's a potential can of worms :)

Bondi Beach

    The State Library also have this photo. Their date is March 1937. There are an awful lot of overdressed people for a day at the beach! And is that a pipe band in the centre of the arena?
  • pellethepoet said:
    Aha! It is a pipe band. Check out this newsreel
  • Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
    It sure is a pipe band! We've replaced this with a larger version so you can zoom in. The film clip you added is very interesting. Dated c.1929.

    There are some trams at the North Bondi terminus (the first version - not excavated). I can see part of an O class and what looks like a coupled set of the squarer Ps. I think that they are in the post 1934, cream and green colours which would rule out 1929. I recollect that the modernised Campbell Pde and the new North Bondi terminus date from Dec 1929.
