Towradgi Point Ocean Pool

ANDREW LINTURN FINE ART Verified independent store

Perched on the sprawling, ancient rock shelf of Towradgi Point, this iconic ocean pool complex is a striking triumph of mid-century coastal engineering. Built by the hands of passi onate local volunteers in the 1960s, it has remained the beating heart of the northern Illawarra's swim culture for generations. This striking top-down fine-art print isolates the unique layout—framing the main 50-meter rectangular lap lanes alongside its tiered concrete platforms and the smaller toddlers' wading pool tucked tightly into the corner. By removing the horizon, the image transforms this beloved landmark into a mesmerizing topographic abstract. The clean, mathematical shapes of the concrete walls stand in sharp relief against the chaotic, moss-covered green reefs and dark basalt boulders, capturing the precise line where structured human design meets the wild surge of the Pacific. Print OptionsAvailable as an Open Edition fine art print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm or Metallic Pearl 310 gsm museum quality, printed with archival pigment inks for exceptional longevity and colour accuracy. Every premium print is expertly crafted and produced locally in the Illawarra. PresentationFramed prints are presented with a double mat and UV-protective acrylic glazing in your choice of Black, White, or Oak timber frame. Framed canvas and Metallic Float Framed options are available in the same frame colours, with Dark Oak also available for the float frame. About the Framing All frames are crafted from premium timber mouldings in your choice of Black, White, or Tasmanian Oak finish, with Dark Oak available for the Metallic Float Framed option. Frames up to A2 use a 30mm profile - A1 and A0 step up to a 40mm profile to suit the scale of the work. Framed Prints are mounted behind a double mat with a 6cm border all around — an inner and outer mat board that creates depth and draws the eye into the image — and finished with UV-protective acrylic glazing to guard against fading and dust. Framed Canvas prints are float mounted within the frame with a deliberate gap between the canvas edge and the frame rebate, giving the work a contemporary gallery feel. No glazing is used, preserving the natural texture of the canvas surface. Metallic Float Framed prints are similarly float mounted, allowing the distinctive lustre and edge of the Metallic Pearl substrate to remain fully visible. No glazing required — the metallic surface presents its own unique statement and robust durability. All of our fine art pieces are handcrafted locally by our trusted experts here in the Illawarra, ready to hang on your walls, straight from the protective packaging box.
