North Sydney Sun Instagram:   / north.sydney.sun   Thank you to North Sydney Council and Historian Ian Hoskins for their support of this project. Join us on a nostalgic journey through 90 years of Luna Park Sydney! From its origins on Cammeraygal land and its role in the Sydney Harbour Bridge construction, to its dazzling opening in 1935, this iconic amusement park has a rich and often tumultuous history. Discover the Art Deco charm, the legendary artists like Arthur Barton who shaped its visual identity, and its vital role in entertaining troops during WWII. Relive the post-war revitalisation, the challenges of competing with television, and the tragic 1979 Ghost Train fire that shocked the nation. Learn about the "Save Our Luna Park" campaign, its legislative protection, and its triumphant rebirths. We'll explore the controversies, the artistic homages, and how Luna Park continues to evolve under new ownership, balancing cherished traditions with exciting new attractions.
