Ye Olde School: Cronulla
Ain't no faux Instagram effects here, people. These photos, faded and sepia-toned as they are, were found in a deceased estate by Stewart Low. Taken at various locations around Cronulla they show The Wall and North Cronulla under a clean east/north-east swell, Shark Island, plus storm damage at South Cronulla.
Unfortunately Stewart doesn't know who owned the photos so can't pin down the dates. The storm damage, however, is more than likely from a storm in 1950 which would make the shot of the Island (first photo) one of the earliest taken.
