    Event description

    “Old Scarborough” describes in words, and many never seen before photos, ‘the way we were’ when the Scarborough beachfront sands were much wider; life was much simpler; the buildings were basic; the community spirit was strong, and Scarborough was regarded as a ‘fun place’ to go. It is also the story of a much stronger community emerging after WWII, and Scarborough becoming a premier beach location, with icons such as Luna Park, the Scarborough Hotel, the Snake Pit and Kool Korner Kafe.

    Local history author Chris Holyday has chronicled the people and places that have defined Scarborough. Chris is the author of several local history books, including the 2022 title Recollections from the coast: remember old North Beach, Trigg, Watermans Bay and Marmion, and A Premier Position

    His most recent work is Old Scarborough, which will be available for purchase on the day. Please bring cash for book purchases.

    Tea and coffee will be provided; attendees are encouraged to BYO reusable coffee cup.

    Bookings essential.
