Details
Date1958
DescriptionThis family photo shows the tidal baths and people enjoying the water at Berowra Creek now Berowra Waters. In the foreground is our son, Mark aged three making the year of the photo, 1958.
My wife, Merle and I remember the day being very hot, so off we went for a dip!
The tide looks about half, with a few rocks showing. If you look very closely, you will see in the background, the Rex Jones Commemorative Monument. In the flagstone apron sloping down towards the water, there were two small garden plots probably about 18 inches (or 45.75cm) square on either side. If I remember correctly rosemary bushes were planted in these plots.
When we were young teenagers this was a popular spot to sun bake.Physical FormatBerowra WatersDimensionsBerowra Living History
