Malvina Reynolds wrote the song "Little Boxes" in 1962 for Peter Seeger, who made it a hit in 1963. Unlike the Little boxes in the UK and Australia, the song gained its popularity as a satire about urbanisation and the growth of large settlements of housing estates 'that all looked the same'.
It appears now that the little red telephone boxes in the UK have become reduntant, given the rise in use of mobile phones. As it is with the famous bathing boxes in Australia, they will now be in high demand for those who want to own a bit of history.
In Australia, the Brighton Bathing Boxes are amongst the 1860 highly sought after bathing boxes and boat sheds that appear around Port Phillip Bay in Victoria, Australia. Many involve a licence and carry a large real estate value. They appear in many Australian films and have been the centre of many Australian paintings over the years.
For tourists they are generally observed on the outside, but for those of us who grew up in Victoria in Australia, they are part of our memories.
Before you visit Victoria, be sure to check out the current information about these unique buildings and the townships around them. If you are an artist or a tourist, these will definitely be on your list.
