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 The road has been extended from the car park to the Lighthouse, while the playground has been replaced by a new car park.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