The Concrete Beach

Yesterday was a superb beach day. Not too hot, not cold.

Spent a bit of time shooting down at Clovelly yesterday, our local concrete beach. If you don’t like sand or waves at your beach, Cloey is for you.

Why so much concrete? During The Great Depression, Randwick Council instituted a scheme to keep unemployed men employed by building concrete foreshores for Clovelly in an attempt to make access to the bay’s foreshores easier for bathers. Kinda reminds me of the rocky Amalfi Coast where they pour concrete along the coast (everywhere).

Surfing – tiny one’s today and that seaweed at South Bondi is exactly in the wrong spot.

We have artwork in-stock, pre-made, ready to ship today – see what’s in the stock room.

One thought on “The Concrete Beach

  1. Fantastic information, we walked from Bronte to Covelly today for the very first time, didn’t know what the concrete was all about but now we do!! thank you! reminded me of when I was at school in London and used to go to a local Lido, which sadly are now all closed
