The Cities article August Tracks 1971

Ever wondered what life on our metro beaches would have been like in 1971?

In August 1971 Tracks Magazine published a wonderful insight into WA metro beach life by Murray of Scarborough.

The scribe Murray may well be Scarborough’s champion surfer/surf industry legend Murray Smith 😊
