Centenary Pool, 1973

Luke van Wyk

If we weren’t swimming in the creeks, we often headed into Centenary Pool on Gregory Terrace. This was probably around 1973, when I was 12, and then over the teenage years. You needed a bit of cash for it because there was an admission charge, the bus fare, and to buy something to eat.
