The “Errol Flynn Reserve”
05
Dec
Hello Everyone!
I just placed two pictures on Photos/Young Errol Flynn, which may be of interest to you! One depicting the Sandy Bay beach where Errol learned to swim and later made a proficiency out of it as he was considered “The Human Fish”. The other one showing that the area of the beach in Sandy Bay was named the “Errol Flynn Reserve”, a very nice gesture of the people of Tasmania. Most likely due to the Ambassador Rory Flynn.

Errol Flynn Reserve – Sandy Bay – Hobart
05
Dec
Quoted on the plaque: “His first associations with water and boats were likely to have been in this vicinity.” It is so sad that
graciousness is such a rear commodity!
Yes, people of Hobart it was! Never-the-less it is a very nice gesture to name the beach or an area of it after our beloved Australian! After all this Australian was not just loved by one nation he was loved around this globe of ours! This privilege is only reserved for few people, but then he was a Sunday's child! Best ever export of Tasmania!

The beach where little Errol started to learn to swim and got his tootsies wet for the first time!

A dog is playing in the water in which Errol first wet his little tootsies and never stopped wetting them!
This beach is Sandy Bay with Battery Point in the background.
Quoting Errol: A beach, Sandy Bay, was not far away and I was often there, swimming at the age of three.
To honor Errol a part of this beach or all of it – I am not sure – is now called “Errol Flynn Reserve”, as you see it in the next picture. Enjoy!
