Normanton Swimming Pool ca.1953

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Normanton is full of old-world charm and started life as a port for the Gulf of Carpentaria’s cattle industry and also became of importance after the discovery of gold at Croydon in 1885. You can’t pass through Normanton without having your photo taken with Krys – The Savannah King. This croc is unique as it is said that this is an exact replica of the huge croc, 8.63 meters. It was shot by professional crocodile hunter, Krystyna Pawlowski in July 1957 on the MacArthur Bank, in the Norman River downstream from Normanton. The crocodile was shot on the MacArthur Bank, Norman River, downstream from Normanton in July 1957. The woman who shot it was a professional crocodile hunter. Normanton Tourist Park boasts to have the largest resort pool in the North West of Queensland. Source: www.aussiecaravanninglifestyle.com/normanton-queensland/

Opening of the sharkproof swimming enclosure at Alma Bay, Magnetic Island, Queensland, 1930

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Arcadia is home to one of the oldest Surf Life Saving Clubs in Australia and has been the location of choice for the past 50+ years for families who regularly visit Magnetic Island. With two beautiful beaches, Geoffrey Bay and Alma Bay, visitors to Arcadia are spoiled for choice when it comes to snorkeling and swimming. Alma Bay is recognized as one of the most photographed bays of Magnetic Island. The beach is patrolled by Life Guards year-round and is marked with red and yellow flags for swimmers. There is a fringing reef that runs along the rocks on either side of the bay with a healthy fish population that can be seen while snorkeling or diving.
