The maps illustrate how a coastline area in Australia has changed since 1950. Overall, the area became more accessible and recreational at the cost of parking zones, surf clubs, and restaurants. Notably, there is an opportunity for citizens who are car drivers.
In 1950, a road leading out of the city ran along the top of the map. Below the road, there were a playground on the left-hand, dining tables, a pavillion, and a car park at the end of the road. The beach was bordered by two 25-metre pools, positioned at opposite ends of the shoreline. Right-side of the beach contained a lighthouse.
Now, several notable changes can be observed. The playground has been removed and replaced by a car park, while another parking zone has been remained at the same place, as dining tables and the pavillion. A restaurant has been introduced on the left edge, while one surf club has been constructed opposite to it and another one between the lighthouse and right-side located pool. One of the former 25-metre pools on the left has been expanded into a 50-metre pool, whereas the right-side pool has remained unchanged. In addition, the road has been extended and now curves around the right end of the area. The lighthouse remains in the same location.
