This remarkable photograph shows the view west along what would have been called Clareville Road. The name Avalon Parade first appeared on AJSmall’s ‘Palmgrove Estate’ subdivision on Boxing Day 1921. AJSmall had envisaged it as a grand tree-lined parade linking Avalon Beach with Clareville. The distant white fence to the left of centre marked the frontage of the property called “Gunjulla”.The culvert behind the cows indicates where the creek (draining what later became Ruskin Rowe) crossed under Avalon Parade. Unfortunately the sign on the right is indecipherable.
