and Museum West Esplanade
Manly NSW 2095, Australia Phone : 02 9949 1776
Many exhibits
have a beach focus, noteably an excellent collection surfwear dating
from the late 1800's and photographs by Ray Leighton.
Important
: The Gallery has previously displayed a pre 1930’s (probably pre
1900’s) solid wood Hawaiian Alaia, approximately 8 ft 6”.
It has been suggested
that this board may be the board brought back to Australia by C.D.
Paterson of Manly in 1908 - 1912 (Australian Longboard Magazine 2003?)
In poor condition
it was on loan from Barry Bennett (Surfboards).
