EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts the Bondi Aquarium, an iconic landmark that opened in 1887 and marked the beginning of Sydney, Australia's first coastal amusement park. Located in the coastal suburb of Tamarama, the aquarium was one of the earliest amusement parks in Australia, predating the turn of the century. Sydney, the most populous city in Australia and the state capital of New South Wales, is situated on the south-east coast of the Tasman Sea. The city's rich history is showcased in this late 19th-century photograph, which captures the charm and allure of Bondi Aquarium during its early days. The Bondi Aquarium, a significant historical site, played a pivotal role in Sydney's cultural landscape, providing entertainment and education to the local community and visitors alike. The aquarium housed a diverse collection of marine life, including fish, sharks, and other sea creatures, which were displayed in large glass tanks. This lantern slide, part of the Boswell Collection and identified as slide number 35, offers a fascinating glimpse into Sydney's past, transporting us back to a time when the city was still in its infancy and the wonders of the natural world were a source of endless fascination and delight. The aquarium's enduring legacy continues to inspire and captivate visitors to this day, making it an essential piece of Sydney's history and a must-see attraction for anyone interested in the city's rich cultural heritage.
