Ramsgate Beach, baths

Ramsgate Baths are in the southern suburb of Ramsgate Beach. These timbers and bars are all that remain of the original Ramsgate Baths that were constructed in 1950 and demolished in 1973. A larger enclosure, incorporated the southern side of the original baths in 1975. Most of it was replaced in 1999 by a floating net structure, consisting of plastic tubes and mesh netting, weighed down by chains. This part of Botany Bay has been used for public sea-water bathing since 1930.

Ramsgate Beach, supermarket at Easter

In an effort to find a photo around Sydney with an Easter theme, I noticed that people in Australia make such an effort to decorate everything for Christmas but barely do anything for Easter. The best I could find is this over the top commercial attempt to convince everyone that the hunt for Easter value is over at their supermarket at Ramsgate Beach. I thought the giant Easter egg on the roof might be good for skywach too.
