The Founders’ Story

So many of us have memories of summer holidays with the family at the beach. Being brought up on sheep and cattle property in southern NSW, the ocean was hundreds of kilometers away and every summer we were fortunate to have the pilgrimage for the family holiday to the beach.

The Holden packed full of kids, with boards, ‘cossies’ and provisions, we travelled for hours and only knew we were getting close to the beach when, with windows down, we could smell the salt of the sea before we could see the beautiful Pacific Ocean.

The sun-filled days were spent lazing on the beach, smothered in pungent sunblock. We bobbed on boards in the waves or body surfed trying to reach the shore, built sand castles with moats, splashed in the rock pools, played beach cricket and ate fresh seafood, summer fruits and ice cream.

When not on the beach we played tennis and golf followed by fish and chips. We lounged on the sofas on the deck reading our books or in the cool inside listening to the top 100 songs of the year or the Test on the TV. The evenings were often BBQ dinners and board games, chatting on the deck and every night gazing at the star filled sky and lulled to sleep as the waves rolled into the shore.

We are so grateful and happy to share Summerbell Escapes with you.
