I was fortunate enough to have a best friend who’s family has a shack and i spend every NYE down there away from the crowds. It’s an incredible piece of land and i can see the shacks mean absolutely everything to the families that own them ❤
How more true blue can you get?
In the late 50’s and 60’s my grandparents and parents used to frequent the Bundeena NP and hike, camp and picnic in that area. I still have memories of walking tracks when I was 10 with my 1st dachshund - no political BS about what you could or could not do as everyone was respectful and cared for the area back then !
Love it!
Good for them. Beautiful.
I camped down there with my stepson over a long weekend a number of years ago and it was a blissful experience. Long may it continue 🙏🙏
Love that coastline, I’m a long distance hiker, my fav is south, RNP. I hike through those shacks. This video answered loads of questions
Thank you
grew up spending most of my youth at Garie and era those shacks were always a mystery and good luck to the descendants I was always envious of them but never Jealous I hope the history stays in tact. good luck
Long may this community remain as it is!
Lovely
I spent many years here fishing and caught a 70lb Jewfish back in 1988.Walking down the hill and seeing the huts and the views is something special
special
Wow the creek looks good again , are there still mud pools at the back ?
I stayed down there as a kid. Is it the figure 8?
Get locked up if u tried to live and survive anywhere in Australia like this now ..
Keep one as an example and return to the management of the Indigenous community..... who will look after it and not leave all the rubbish .... Next generation of First Nations!
From wot eye see , it's a sight for sore eyes, and should have been demolished decades ago, with respect to grandad, but your time was then , not now . And personality id like to see many, of these shack community's gorn county wide, and restored for everyone
