A solid Southern Swell is something that surfers prey for...

The final afternoon of the Southern Swell exhibition this afternoon at the Hazelhurst Arts Centre & Gallery in Sydney's south at Gymea, brought back many memories for me from my surfboard riding days in Cronulla way back in the '60s.

This mixed media exhibition featured a wide array of contemporary and historic photographs, surfboards, films, memorabilia and artworks over the past decades.

| An awesome display of surfboards and surfing memorabilia connects the past with the present |
Apparently this exhibition has broken all records for attendance at this fabulous Gallery, knocking off a previous Quilt exhibition, that held the attendance record, if you can believe it. Very impressive numbers l am sure.

While taking in the exhibition, I ran into a couple of old surfers that l used to surf with almost 60-years ago, some of them a little worse for wear, however we are still on the right side of the turf.
Definitely worth the effort. Cheers...
