Manly Council wrote to one motor car operator in 1905 that he must not exceed 8 mph, and 3 mph around corners, in order to alleviate the 'dust nuisance' caused by his automobile. This couple, Patrick and Lilian Sheehan, are posed in one of the cars which took visitors for juants along the Steyne and back, price 6d. Their expressions suggest that they are thinking better of the whole business.
