A bend in the Yarra, a photo from Victoria, East

Photographer's Note

This spot on the Yarra river is close to the location of the Deep Rock Swimming Club, which hosted competitive and recreational swimming in its heyday. Nothing of the club remains. In 1918 the cliff you see was the site of a record 62.7m dive from a platform constructed at the top. Apparently 50,000 people were there to witness it. Hard to imagine all that activity now; it is just a pleasant spot along the Yarra Bend Park bike/walking track.

Hello Stephen

I never would have thought that this was practically in the centre of Melbourne. It looks more like a remote corner of the Kimberleys in W.A. Tfs!

Hi Steve
Dark but effective due to the light tree trunks and their reflections.
cheers
Ian
