Very few have structured their walk as creatively as The Entrance where there are a series of signs and photographs set at short distances along the walkway from Memorial Park to the Surf Lifesaving Club. These are not the usual photos of historic buildings but rather a unique record of the quirky and the unusual aspects of the fabric of life at The Entrance. There's a photo of women in long dresses standing beside the channel; a photo taken in the mids of a bus which crashed through the retaining wall and landed on the edge of the lake; a photo taken in before there was a bridge across the channel; a photo of the flood with the sanitary truck up to its axles in floodwaters; and photos taken in of Duffy's Emporium, the Wintergarden Theatre and people camping in tents on The Entrance Headland.
It is a delightful walk and a real insight into the evolution of The Entrance as a tourist and holiday destination.
