Local History Exhibition: Woollahra Then & Now

Next date: Wednesday, 19 March 2025 | 12:00 AM to 08:00 PM

Step back in time and see Woollahra through a new lens in this photographic exhibition celebrating postcode 2025 in the year 2025. 

Woollahra, named after the Gadigal word for ‘lookout’ (Woo-la-ra), has a rich history that unfolds through side-by-side historical and modern photographs. Taken from the same vantage points, these images capture the transformation of buildings, businesses, and streets over time.

Unless otherwise noted, ‘then’ photographs come from a heritage survey commissioned by Woollahra Council in the early 1980s, while the ‘now’ images were taken by Council photographer Alex McClintock.
