L P Hartley began his novel the Go-Between (1953) with the now famous line, ‘The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.’ Is it possible that they ‘did leisure differently’ at seaside resorts around Port Phillip Bay in the second half of the 19th century? There are, for instance, very few Australian paintings of the period showing people actually swimming in the water. Why is this? This lecture explores what artists chose to paint and why, and attempts to suggest their ultimate contribution to our understanding of leisure at the time.
