Great stuff! I might even be buying a boater after seeing these pics. I always thought them to be slightly clownesque, but these guys look really stylish.

Great photos Cookie

I wonder if the "City Hatters" they mention is the current "Strand Hatters"?

Wonderful pictures. So, do you still celebrate "Panama and Straw hat week"?

Maybe we should start the grand tradition again Sefton...though we might have to skip the "week" thing and just call all of summer "Panama and Straw hat season"

Thanks for the pictures! And in general the pointer to the collection, there are a lot of great photographs in there. My mom grew up in Maroubra, the collection has pictures of a wreck on the beach there that i heard made surfing tricky for a very long time..
