The two maps give detailed information about the changes which have taken place in a beachfront of Australia from 1950 to present days.
Overall, it is clear that there has been dramatic change in the structure of beachfront, particularly recreation and parking lot areas. It is also worth mentioning that some places such as Lighthouse, pavilion and dining tables have remained relatively unchanged over the given period.
Looking at the information in more details, in 1950, the beachfront had a simple view with relatively modest facilities. There was a road in the north of map from west to east and at the end car park was located. Playground, dining tables and pavilion were situated alongside the car park. Lighthouse was positioned in the south – east of beachfront. 25 m pool was to the lefty side of lighthouse. Another 25 pool was in the west of map. We can see beach in the south of map.
After some years, beachfront has been developed into more vibrant place. The road has been extended from car park to the lighthouse while the playground has been replaced by a new car park. One striking change is that a new restaurant and surf club have been built in the west of beachfront. Besides another surf club has been constructed in front of lighthouse. The pool which was positioned in the west of map has been expanded from 25m to 50m.
