Greg Meluish and Zita

Posted: June 25, 2015 at 5:21 pm

Greg Meluish got the double page spread in “Surf” Magazine back in 1977,  taken by Dave Shaw.
Although Zita caught what appears to be the very next wave in the set, it was only with the magic of photoshop that the two images could finally be combined almost  40 years later.    Tim Vanderlaan Collection

Interesting enough Blake Johnston’s new surf shop opening soon is situated across from Cronulla RSL next door to where the first surf shop was opened in the early 60’s photo Chris Stroh

Captain Cook Bridge

Posted: June 21, 2015 at 11:28 am

It’s 50 years since the opening of the Captain Cook Bridge. This shot taken just after the opening. Before the bridge was opened you would have to catch the punt across the river or use the Tom Uglys Bridge. Notice the board on the racks of the lead car, the lack of trees along the centre of the road, and when the old Caringbah Hospital was easily the tallest building on the horizon.
