Poolside, Sydney
The MacCallum public seawater pool.
Right on Sydney harbour at Cremorne Point.
Photographed at sunset on Christmas Day, 2024.
In the distance the catamaran 'Golden Grove' is heading for the nearby Cremorne Point Wharf.
And here is the history of the MacCallum seawater pool:
In 1900 at the Paris Olympics, Fred Lane won the 200m freestyle race for Australia. Lane was a resident of Milson Road on Cremorne Point and around 1915 he began using boulders to form a tidal pool.
Through the 1920s the pool was slowly improved when Hugh MacCallum became responsible for much of the work and for formalising membership of the pool to raise funds for upkeep and to manage use.
The pool was named in MacCallum’s honour in 1930.
