Manly: an Inner-City Beachside Village Manly: An inner-city beachside village Introduction and a little history The first governor of New South Wales, Captain Arthur Phillip, in 1788 named Manly for the impression made on him by “the confidence and manly behaviour” of the area’s Aborigines. For a century, Manly was essentially a seaside holiday destination for city-dwellers – reflected in its original marketing tag-line, “Seven miles from Sydney and a thousand miles from care”. The very first Manly ferry ran from Circular Quay (in the shadow of the harbour bridge) in 1855, and the ferry service has been instrumental in the residential and commercial development of the area ever since. Today, local residents with city jobs still get to experience what might be the world‟s best workplace commute – complete with sea air and salt-spray. The beach At the south end of Manly Beach, members of Manly Life Saving Club (Australia‟s second- oldest) have patrolled the flagged swim areas since 1907. This spot is ideal for learners with its reliable sandbanks and easy spilling waves. Bigger swells can produce a menacing wave out front of tiny Fairy Bower Beach known locally as “Deadman‟s”, a ledge-y tube that breaks right in front of the cliff. North Steyne Surf Club sits halfway along the beach, and from here right up to Queenscliff are usually punchy barrels ideal for advanced surfers. Queenscliff Bommie, at the far northern end of the beach, can handle waves up to fifteen feet on its day but you need the right board and sometimes even a jet-ski to tackle it. sydney.com visitnsw.com nswevents.com Surf & lifestyle Manly boasts an astonishing pedigree as a producer of surfing world champions: Layne Beachley (7 world titles, 1998-2003 & 2006); Pam Burridge (world title 1990), Barton Lynch (world title 1988); Midget Farrelly (world title 1964). Surfing is so embedded in the culture here that there are no less than fourteen surf shops in Manly, making it one of the best places in Sydney to shop for boards, clothing and equipment. Other popular activities on offer include beach volleyball, kayaking and scuba diving. You could stay for weeks getting acquainted with different surf breaks, dive with the sharks in the tank at Oceanworld, cycle or roller-blade the esplanade, sample some of the dozens of restaurants and cafes, and catch some of Sydney‟s best musicians performing live at the area‟s pub venues.

  • 2012 Football Club Chairman’S Report
    MANLY-WARRINGAH RUGBY LEAGUE FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2012 FOOTBALL CLUB CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Going back to back in the NRL competition has proven too big a task for the defending Premiers each year since 1992, but I can proudly say that in 2012, Geoff Toovey and the boys gave it a red hot go. Despite a host of difficulties, including pre-season disruptions, travelling to the UK for the World Club Challenge, injuries, suspensions and off field distractions, the team, led by Co-Captains Jamie Lyon and Jason King, rallied together magnificently to finish in the Top 4, falling only one game short of another Grand Final appearance after defeat by eventual 2012 Premiers, the Melbourne Storm. Whilst we may not have achieved our ultimate goal of successfully defending our 2011 title, we should not lose sight of just how difficult it is to remain near the top of the NRL competition each year. Accordingly, we should all be extremely proud of what was still a very successful 2012 season for the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles. In his first year as Head Coach, Geoff Toovey did a fantastic job despite a less than ideal preparation and I am sure he is itching to get into 2013, knowing the experience of his first year under his belt will stand him in good stead for the challenges that lie ahead. With the nucleus of the side being retained long term, particularly our young halves, Keiran Foran and Daly Cherry-Evans, we can all be justifiably confident that a 9th premiership is well within our reach in coming seasons.

Collaborations between these two areas are a recent development, yet a scientific basis for safety information is crucial to better understanding how to avoid and mitigate the hazard presented by rip currents. One such area is the field of swimmer escape strategies. Contemporary safety advice is divided on the relative merits of a ‘Stay Afloat’ versus ‘Swim Parallel’ strategy, yet conceptual understanding of both these strategies is largely based on an idealised model of rip current morphology and flow dynamics where channels are incised in shore-connected bars.

  • Risky Behaviours of Beachgoing in Australia
    Risky behaviours of beachgoing in Australia Todd Walton A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences Faculty of Science July, 2014 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Walton First name: Todd Other name/s: Reginald Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences Faculty: Science Title: Risky behaviours of beach-going in Australia Abstract Beaches in Australia are signified with meaning. ‘The beach’ is a cultural centrepiece that contributes to the expectation of pleasure seeking in various forms, be it whilst being at the beach or reminiscing about being there. However, many of these pleasures are invariably risky. This thesis explored the cultural underpinnings of beach going in Australia, to reveal the existence of risk- taking norms in Australian beach use. Attention has been paid to the sociality of the embodied subject in the beach space, and how various cultural forces that promote risky beach behaviours have emerged in Australia. I present a psychosocial, ethnographic study that captures the patterns of behaviour and perceptions that reproduce norms of risk-taking that are specific to beach going. A synthesis of psychoanalytic geographies and psychodynamics provided a practical way of analysing such risky behaviours. These analytic methods were brought in touch with the more commonplace research methods of surveying and interviewing in human geography. This filled a methodological gap in the analysis of risk- taking behaviour as a phenomenon, and the associated psychic development of individuals within the specific context of beach going.
