Manly

From beginnings as the traditional country of the Cannalgal and Kayimai people, Manly had a brief spell as a place for the elite to take the waters. The area saw intense development in the 1920s with thousands of flats built, but remains a popular spot with both foreign tourists and local day trippers.
