Manly Beach
-
Newspaper editor William Gocher challenged the laws in 1902 by enjoying a midday swim at Manly. His crime? It was illegal to swim in public between 6am and 8pm. Thanks to Gocher’s bold action, daylight bathing was legalized within a year, provided that one always wore a conservative neck-to-knee swimsuit.
