Giant Water Slide, Steyne Court, Manly

Main

AuthorJohn MorcombeDateApril 2020DescriptionThroughout the late 1800s and early 1900s, Manly promoted itself as a tourist resort – and the type of amusements on honour varied wildly. Undoubtedly the largest and most exciting amusement in Manly was the giant water chute in Steyne Court, an amusement complex on South Steyne between Victoria Parade and Ashburner Street. As well as the water chute, Steyne Court would also feature a toboggan slide, a miniature railway disguised as a fire-breathing dragon, a theatre showing slides and short films, kiosks, bandstands, refreshment rooms and sideshows.SubjectsAmusementsCopyrightThis item may be used freely for research and study purposes, for all other uses contact Northern Beaches Council Library Local Studies.
