Beaumaris Foreshore Reserve between
Reserve Road at left and Tramway Parade, Beaumaris, at right, with Burgess
Street at the centre, 28th February 1999. The large
structure near the beach is the Beaumaris Life Saving Club, with its recently
added second storey. The
cleared freehold land on the south corner of The land
had been the site of the former Beaumaris
Wine Cafe, which was a small shop that was in operation on that
site in the 1940s. The "wine cafe" was a prewar category of
licensed premises that was discontinued soon after the war. Such premises
catered for people that seemed to be fond of the fortified wines that
represented the main consumption of wine in Between
the Wine Cafe period and the last use of the site as a restaurant, there was
in the 1960s and 1970s a different building again, which was a restaurant
called The Didgeridoo. See the indigenous plants
and the pest plants recorded on this section of the foreshore. |
