The bathing boxes on the Dendy Street beach at Brighton are a long standing icon of Melbourne.  They are increasingly popular as a wedding destination for locals and Japanese tourists alike.  Ownership of the boxes is limited.  When they come on the market they often sell for up to a third of the price of a regular house.
