From our own
Correspondent
Peachey Belt, December 28.
Yesterday, being
Christmas Day, there was a general cessation of harvest operations.
From early morn till late in the evening
vehicles of all
kinds were passing to and from St. Kilda being the favourite
rendezvous of the pleasure seekers from Salisbury, Virginia, Penfield, and the sur rounding neighbourhood. The vast concourse
of people that located themselves on
the beach during the day fully
showed that St Kilda, as a watering place, is not a whit behind other
places of the kind in the colony.
Convenient and well shaded bathing-places for both sexes a
comfort able distance on
either side of the promenade,
ample room for cricket, dancing, racing &c, on the beach, afforded abundant
opportunity for all
to enjoy themselves according to their several tastes.
SA Register 29 December 1863
