We fell in love with Kurrimine Beach in 1974 when we came here fo a holiday. With the help of Annette's parents and a good bank manager we bought the land and began to build. Graham laid every brick and Annette plastered every wall. What began as a plan to build a fisherman's cottage soon became a determination to build something more substancial and, as a consequence, we have our home of today. Annette's creativeness has made it the most photographed house in Kurrimine Beach.
Our Home from the Outside
The Front of the Building features from left to right Chris' Memorial Mural, the Underwater Mural and the Cassowary with Chicks Mural.
The Right Side of the Lower Building features the the best Pink Cassia Tree ever. No raking of leaves with this one!
The Right Side of the Workshop features a painting of the Flame of the Forest Vine.
Chris' Memorial Mural. Our grandson Chris loved Paranella Park so this mural seemed a fitting memorial
Underwater Mural. This mural reminds us that the ocean is an important part of our Kurrimine Beach community
