Spring Hill Baths



A few years ago i saw a film clip by a popular Australian band named Eskimo Joe. I found the location to be very interesting and after a little research found that it was filmed in my home town of Brisbane. Situated in Spring Hill (inner city suburb) i found out that the baths are the oldest public baths in Brisbane. A few months later i was contacted by a friend who happened to be writing a story about the history of the baths and i jumped at the opportunity to take some images for his story. The place is very interesting because not only is it a public swimming pool but on the first wednesday of the month they hold an open mic night for local musicians to perform. The popularity of this event has been growing at a rapid rate ever since. Below are two images which went to print and i recommend going in for a swim in the hot months ahead.

Here is a link to the film clip too if your interested.
