Maroubra Beach

    Comment added on behalf of Bill Shute (Who does not use Yahoo, Flickr or Facebook!) As a kid I spent many lazy days surfing on this beach. This photo I feel is pre 1950's. Immediately over the concrete shelter shed and about a mile distant was the Maroubra Speedway which was closed in the 1930's due to several fatal mishaps during racing. In the 1960's-70's that became a large Housing Commission area, houses and flats. The barely visible concrete section slightly to the left of, and towards the water from the shelter shed is the storm water outlet for water collected for miles distant. Nearly high enough for an adult to walk in and about as wide from memory. Trams terminated near the building in the left foreground, which could be the surf clubhouse. The whole of the hill to the left is now fully developed with housing. Sincerely, Bill

The ship was stuck there for months." Randwick City Council also have a page on their website about HEREWARD and how long it remained on the beach: bit.ly/Orrp7T A long time!

    Cannon retrieved 26/3/2013 ! The sand covering the wreck was washed away recently. southern-courier.whereilive.com.au/photos/gallery/the-her... Watch this space!

    beachcomber australia How fascinating! Great pictures :) I guess Randwick Council will have to update their entry, esp the bit that says previous work has 'removed all trace of the HEREWARD'!

    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons This is weird! I saw a short report on Channel 9 NBN News on Tuesday 27/3/13 about retrieving the cannon, but I can't find anything recent on the entire interweb about it. Googled using various combinations of "hereward cannon wreck maroubra " ?? A dive video in 2011 - vimeo.com/25710306
