Deep Rock Swimming Club

A large group of men and boys (many in bathing suits) posed at the Deep Rock swimming area above Dight's Falls. The men in the front row (left to right) are: L. Drew, P. Kennedy, H. Simpson, H. Simpson jnr.,? ? P. Mumford, P. Revell, W. Heckle, John Wren, R. Drew, W. Grant, Stevens, W. Willis, S. Heckle, Henry Smith. The course of the river in this area was altered during freeway construction in the 1970s so that an exact location is difficult to find nowadays, but walkers can see a commemorative plaque.

Taken on the same day as photo 293 but from the opposite side of the river so that the two clubhouses of the "Deep Rock Lifesaving & Swimming Club", built on a very barren-looking rise, can be seen

A number of boys and men enjoy themselves in the Deep Rock swimming pool, while others sit on the steps watching. All the swimming costumes include a singlet top. While there is no freeway in the background, nor is there any of the lovely planting which we enjoy today. Content of image: Deep Rock Swimming Club Source of image: Mrs Violet Humble
