Historical Bathers Way - Part 2

When we were undertaking research to fully appreciate the history of Bathers Way and, locations along the route, we delved into the State Library of NSW photo archives.

I was wonderful to discover the following images … It is hard to imagine wearing a suit and formal hat to the beach! Can you match the images to spots along the current Bathers Way?

If you love the aesthetic and significance of historical images, please check out the Bogey Hole prints currently available in our Shop.
