Reeling along

















This lovely image comes from Mr C W Byrnes of Tuggerah, who found it in a box of glass negatives dating from the 1910s. It appears to be located at Narrabeen, prior to a surf life-saving carnival. The carrier has half a dozen surf reels loaded on his cart - the names of the Manly and Dee Why Life Saving Clubs can be seen. They would have been pretty heavy, and it would have taken a good strong horse to haul them. The carter, we think, is Mr Peter Seymour, whose yard was in Golf Parade, Manly.

North Narrabeen march-past team


This image of the North Narrabeen march-past team of the mid-1950s comes to us from Louise McMorland, daughter of the flag-bearer, Jim McMorland. We need names of the others in the photo - can you help?

Thanks, Louise, for the loan of the photo.
