Old Joes Milkbar

Inside Old Joes Milkbar at North Cronulla just before it was closed for business in the 90s and demolished it was a walk back in time. Advertising posters from the past still displayed and out dated parlor games along with more modern pinny machines. The counter was always the same, Toffee apples, milk shakes and hot chips bring back fond memories of youthful days spent at the beach.

Pikers Hole

The most recent and heaviest reef discovery is Pikers Hole near Kurnell. Although it was surfed in the 70’s by a adventuress small few it remained virtually riderless until 2000. It rates up there as one of the worlds heaviest slabs. On a big day its like Waimea Shorey in reverse on reef steroids. Photo Craig Stroh.
