Coogee, Surf Life Saving Club

The Coogee Surf Life Saving Club is located on the cliff at the southern end of Coogee Beach, along Beach Street in the eastern suburb of Coogee. The club was founded in 1907 and the art deco design clubhouse was refurbished in 2020 with a controversial alteration to the facade. The Ross Jones Memorial Pool, located below the club, was built in 1947. The National Trust has observed that the pool is significant due to the unique design, which includes concrete piers that extend above the wall resembling turrets at the top of a sandcastle.

Coogee, Surf Life Saving Club

The Coogee Surf Life Saving Club is located high on the cliff, at the southern end of Coogee Beach, in the eastern suburb of Coogee. The club was founded in 1907 by a group of concerned locals who thought that the bathers needed protection from the dangers of the surf. The original clubhouse was a wooden shack built in 1910 which was replaced this art deco design clubhouse.

Coogee, Ross Jones Memorial Pool

The Ross Jones Memorial Pool is located next to the Surf Life Saving Club at Coogee Beach, in the eastern suburb of Coogee. Yesterday, swells rising to four metres battered the coastline and closed beaches across Sydney amid concerns about dangerous swimming conditions. This tidal pool attracted some swimmers who were keen to experience the rough waves smashing in, with nearby lifesavers keeping an eye on them.

Coogee, tidal pool

Looking down at the Ross Jones Memorial Pool, next to the Surf Life Saving Club, from the upper promenade at Coogee Beach, in the eastern suburb of Coogee. Those standing in the tidal pool and one about to walk down the stairs are rugby league footballers. The State of Origin series is an annual best-of-three rugby league series between two Australian state representative sides, the New South Wales Blues and the Queensland Maroons. This photo was taken on Monday when these players from the NSW Blues were revealed for the upcoming series. Their two watchful minders keep an eye on the rough waves washing in.
