Historical photographs {Inspiration}

I have developed a little obsession with historical photographs lately, I think it stemmed from an image I saw of Sydney’s North Shore Tram tracks. The obsession probably goes hand in hand with my love of antiquing, tangible visual items of a life gone by. 

Here is a little collection of photos that have tickled my fancy lately:

Central Railway Station, Sydney - alcoholic beverages price list

Rock swimming pool at Cronulla Beach

Cronulla Beach, Sydney

Manly Ferry Wharf c.1941

A "House" that is close to my heart, the Sydney Opera House

I hope you enjoyed the little historical tour.
