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.

Maroubra Beach

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

    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
