This photo is the Bulli Beach Kiosk that is where I cut my teeth playing pinball from 1969 to around 1978 when the place burnt down. This place was even open before school! I can remember we used to walk down, play some pins, go for a surf, scronge some Coke bottles to cash in for more games.
Even when we were in primary school and the Nuns (yeah I was a good Catholic boy then ) used to march us down to the pool every Wednesday afternoon during the warmer months. There were 4 pinball junkies who used to sneak up and play the pins instead of swimming in the 'Polo Pit'. One of us used to watch for one of the Nuns while the rest of us played.
