New exhibition
Bondi Jitterbug
A free exhibition until 22 February 2009
Don’t miss this extraordinary collection of 60 B&W images taken at Bondi Beach by amateur photographer and champion jitterbug dancer George Caddy, in the 1930s and 1940s. Recently discovered and exhibited for the first time, these photographs reveal a beachside parade of lifesavers, fashionable sunbathers and the daring gymnastic feats known as ‘beachobatics’.
Feature image: photograph by George Caddy, 25 September 1938
