Main

Record numberMV-356Date1947DescriptionThe army commandeered the house and contents for use as their base camp during the construction of a tank trap defence line that continued east beyond the bay. The jetty and pool were demolished by the Army and not reinstated other than a smaller jetty constructed by Mr Douglas on the bank created by the Army. It was the only defence structure of any note in Pittwater with barbwire only being the most commonly used such as on the Winji Jimmy Bay/Bayview sandbanks.MenuPlace | Suburbs L-M | Mona Vale (N.S.W.)SubjectsTank trapsWorld War 1939-1945Mona ValeWaterwaysDouglas FamilyMona Vale (N.S.W.)World War IIPhysical descriptionPhotograph; Digital Image 300 DPICopyrightThis item may be used freely for research and study purposes, for all other uses contact Northern Beaches Council Library Local Studies.
