The
baths were built to keep out crocodiles, but were less
effective at excluding box jellyfish, which caused a
number of deaths to bathers. The baths fell into disrepair
during the 1950s.
During
the 1970s Lameroo Beach was home to a large hippy commune
until Cyclone Tracy wreaked havoc and destroyed the
site in 1974.
