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.

Greg Button

Posted: May 26, 2015 at 9:15 pm

 In the 70’s and 80’s Greg Button put himself in the firing line to get some of the Cronulla’s most iconic surf images. Greg is pictured here in the main shot at Shark Island shooting from the water,  and from the land with his Century 650mm lens  at Cronulla Point in the mid 80’s. Greg was responsible for the best ever shot taken in Cronulla of “Popout” on Easter Sunday 1977. Photos of Greg by Tim Vanderlaan.
