Camping Dee Why, c 1950

Main

Record number61421Datec.1950DescriptionSurf Club land on the corner of The Strand and Dee Why Parade. This photo was taken from the top floor back window of the old clubhouse on The Strand. The Dee Why Surf Club owned two blocks of land on the corner of The Strand and Dee Why Parade where a tall block of flats is now. They allowed caravans to park on it which helped the SLSC pay off the loan for the purchase of the land. The site was very popular, with caravans arriving from all over Australia. They gave the land to the Council in a deal to build a new clubhouse. The council had given the club notice to quit the land as the campers were using council facilities like showers and toilets.MenuPlace | Beaches D-K | Dee Why Beach (N.S.W.)Community | Recreation and Sport | Surf Life Saving | Dee Why SLSCCommunity | Recreation and Sport | CampingSourceDee Why Surf Life Saving ClubSubjectsBeachesDee Why Beach (N.S.W.)Recreation and SportSurf Life SavingDee Why SLSCKeywordsBeaches
