Thought I'd see what photos were out there showing anything dealing with swimming pre-1970. Anything at all would have done. And the end result was one photo of Dawn Fraser and Ilsa Conrads at the 1960 Olympic trials at North Sydney Pool:

It is a great photo though. I really like the dark and mysterious effect. What was this pool really like?
But what is up with all those people who feel free to load the site with their boring photos which are not even tagged correctly, like the person who has put about 40 photos on the Guildford entry all titled Guildford Museum?
A better option for anyone looking for more historical photos may be the National Library's Picture Australia:

good on you Ruth Karen W
ReplyDeleteYou are right, the National Library's photos are more up-to-date on history. I really find their site informative!
