June 10, 2018 by Marie-Louise McDermott

The ABC’s audience-led project Curious Sydney was recently asked to find out:

  • Who built the ocean pools around Sydney?
  • Why are no new ocean pools being built in present day?

Sue Daniel, digital producer for ABC NSW News, contacted our Chairperson, Marie-Louise McDermott, for help in addressing those questions and invited her to be take part in an ABC Radio Sydney broadcast segment about Sydney’s ocean pools.

Here are the links to that ABC story:

  • http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-07/sydneys-ocean-pools-who-built-them/9808500

See the feature article in the June 2018 issue of our monthly newsletter Ocean Pool News for more information about ‘Who built the ocean pools around Sydney?’
