Summer Holidays at The Basin, Pittwater

Main

Record numberLH000992Date1962/3DescriptionThe Londons and many other families rented the little one-room cabins at The Basin to spend their summer holidays in the 1950s and 1960s.
The Cabins were furnished with a big dining table, benches and double bunks. Canvas camp stretchers were added for parents and extra kids and a tiny kitchenette, with kerosene stove. There was a communal toilet and shower block.
A little kiosk sold ice-creams and soft drinks but everything else was taken across on the ferry, which also delivered fresh milk and bread every morning.
When the cabins were demolished in the late 1960s, the Basin became camping only.
