Luna Park laughing clowns

96/44/1-5/4/122/2

This image comes from the David Mist photographic archive we acquired in the 90s. This image showing people playing laughing clowns game at Luna Park was included in David’s photographic book on Sydney called ‘Sydney, A Book of Photographs’ that was published in 1969. This image features on page 120 of the book with the caption “Coney Island spells fun to the child in any grown-up. Beneath the Harbour Bridge Sydney has its own version of Coney Island inside the bizarre mouth of Luna Park right on the waterfront.”

    I feel a then-and-now coming on. This stall, or a very close replica of it, is still extant in Luna Park today.

    I will feature it on Photo of the Day.
