Local historian Myrtle Beitz is the next guest speaker at the Waterloo Bay Probus Club. Myrtle is a foundation member of the Wynnum Historical Society and regularly publishes insights on Facebook on matters of historical interest to the Wynnum community.
The Merv Beitz Historical Room at the Wynnum Library houses a collection of historical photos and is open to all who have an interest in what has come before us.
It was the famous author Mark Twain who said, “history does not repeat itself but it does rhyme” and the truth of that can be seen in the photo of Wynnum waterfront in the 1930s, where people can be seen relaxing and enjoying themselves just as we do today.
Things may change but people stay the same.
The Waterloo Bay Probus Club meets on the fourth Thursday of the month. Prospective members may contact Secretary Ian at [email protected].
