The beach inspector's tower is in Cromwell Park behind the beach, in the eastern suburb of Malabar. This protected beach on Long Bay does not have a life saving club but is patrolled by lifeguards and a beach inspector.
Beach Inspector-- An interesting title to my "Ugly American" ears as it conjures up someone who takes a magnifying glass to the sand and sea shells! Of course your vernacular attributes the title to someone we might call a police officer with some status above a sergeant-- perhaps a step or two above Constable. Good thing I watch BBC mysteries or I might never had known!
Plain and practical. What more does one need? I would like to see a little splash of colour though. Perhaps the lifeguards or beach inspector will provide that.
Quite a perch!
ReplyDeleteFunctional? Certainly.
DeleteBut not as glamorous as the normal structures :)

ReplyDeleteI don't see a ladder. How does the lifeguard get up there?
ReplyDeleteLinda, they bring it over with them from another building. I guess they do it to keep kids and vandals off the tower.
DeleteFor some reason that tower reminds me of one of the machines in Star Wars!
ReplyDeleteThat's a first for me...Beach Inspector Lifeguard...
ReplyDeleteAt lest they will be high enough to seee the action.
