Bathing Dam at the Recreation Reserve, c1912

The cannon can be seen mounted on the bank, pointed towards the entrance gates which can be vaguely seen in the distance just about the bank of the dam. These gates are in their original position, and in 1915 were moved about 100 metres further north-west, to their current location.
The Fighting Gladiator statue was mounted just inside the original gate site, but had been vandalised and destroyed by the time of this photo.
