Historical information

These photographs, taken by The Advocate in 1991, were published as part of the newspaper’s regular feature highlighting local traders and businesses across the district.

These photographs are of the Aerobic staff of the St. Albans Leisure Centre located in Taylors Road, St. Albans (Now Keilor Downs).

Aerobic was one of many different fitness activities that was provided to the public at the St. Albans Leisure Centre.

Aerobics in Australia developed as part of the global fitness boom of the late 1970s, 1980s, and 1990's becoming a major cultural and commercial force in gyms across Australia, in fact throughout the world.

Significance

The Advocate’s feature on local traders was a modest yet well‑liked column that played a meaningful role in strengthening community identity.
