This postcard from the 1920s shows the site in the immediate foreground where the surf club was built in 1934. Car parking in those days was really a ‘free-for-all’ and when necessary spilled up the hill (now the eastern extension of Avalon Parade before it bends south and becomes Surfside Avenue). Note the absence of houses around the top of what was to become (New) Barrenjoey Road. The recently planted Norfolk Island Pines have yet to show their heads above the white picket planter boxes.
