Images of Maroubra, Sydney, Australia including photographs of my daughter and grandchildren with their great grandmother, who lived in Torrington Road.
Thanks for the effort, once again. Once again, I find myself piecing together thoughts of what the places *looked* like, and what they *look* like now. Kind regards.
Well you may say ;. " God Save The Queen , but nothing will save such perfectly encapsulated History " . With respect to Gough and Margaret . Lovely background music . A nice treat .
Thank you Leslle My wife and I have justed shared 20 wonderful years of parents and 3 daughters in Maroubra,lived in Byng st overlooked the speed way and our schooling,I must get out our 8mm flim 1000s of ft .
I suspect the image at 9:00 dates from around 1960-61 due to the FB or EK Holden vehicles there (one being a black/red taxi headed East and the white/blue parked headed West). And, on the subject of Holden vehicles, to the West in distance down Maroubra Rd., the blonde brick tower of the GMH Pagewood factory can be seen. When Holden closed the site in 1980, half of that huge block was repurposed as a WD & HO Wills cigarette factory, the other half to the South a rather large Westfield Shopping Mall.

As Sydney grew Maroubra
in the 40’s was like Bondi in the 20’s and Cronulla in the 60’s and halfway between the two.
All built on sand dunes.
