Spanish Steps of Eastern Beach, Geelong Suburban Icon Poster
Imagine: it’s 1929. The air is crisp, the sun shines bright, and holidaymakers gather along the newly constructed Spanish Steps at Eastern Beach, Geelong, on the edge of Corio Bay.
These grand, white Art Deco steps were part of Geelong’s transformation into a true ‘people’s playground’ — a slice of seaside paradise overlooking the whimsical fountain, flanked by crane and tortoise statues, with sweeping views of the promenade and distant You Yangs.
The Spanish Steps, part of a £40,000 civic investment, marked Geelong’s embrace of recreational elegance, echoing the charm of European coastal resorts. Though their lustre faded in the 1960s, a 1993 restoration revived this heritage-listed precinct to its former glory.
Now, you can relive a 1930s ‘Take a Kodak’ moment — a breathtaking panorama worthy of Percy Trompf’s iconic travel art — with our Vintage Suburban Icons Collection.
This artwork is available in A0, A1, A2, A3, A4. Professional framing is available on A0, A1 and A2 sizes via pick up only.
