Life's A Beach

Sun, sea, surf, sand and the close relationship Australian's have with the beach is explored in this colourful and fun exhibition that all family members will enjoy. Family snaps, historic film, oral histories from South Australians form part of the displays; bathing costumes, surfboards as well as a selection of those useless souvenirs we buy to capture the seaside experience are there to enjoy.
