Australia, 1952

Film
Flash trip to the beach thumbnail image.

This home movie takes us back to an era when holidays seemed longer, days sunnier and road safety was much less of an issue. Older Bayside residents will be interested in scenes taken of Brighton streets and the Kinane Street beach. A man and a boy take a trip to the beach on the back of a motorbike.
