Cronulla is a beachside suburb in the Sutherland Shire 30kms south of Sydney. It’s been my home for close to 40 years living a few streets from Cronulla’s surf, and has been a vital part of my life, one that I associate with the best of times, first as a kid heading to the beach with my parents brother and sister, then living in the suburb firstly with friends then with my own family. I spend a lot of time wandering with my camera observing and looking to capture interesting and artistic images in the life of my suburb, an ongoing project which I started to pursue over a decade ago when I left the Herald to pursue a Freelance career. I have obviously been shooting Cronulla for much longer than this but not as intently as the last decade or so. My photographing of Cronulla was never meant to be an historical record, although inevitably it will become exactly that as developers continually change the face of the suburb, as fashions change and modern cars of today suddenly look like antiques further down the line. As a young child massive sand dunes towered over the stretch of beach from Wanda to Boat Harbour, dunes that that are rapidly disappearing depleted by sand mining and now new housing developments that are popping up in the sandhills leaving the Kurnell oil refinery as the beaches more prominent backdrop.
