Grew up going down there back in the early 1980's as my grandparents purchased a shack from one of the original owners. Have many wonderful memories of Era, also my great aunt and uncle Cecil Frank and Dulcie Osborne were one of the original shack owners having purchased theirs in the 1950's both deceased now. My great uncle Frank was highly regarded and respected in the SLSA and had many positions over the years before he died. Haven't been down there in well over 20 years but still go down to Garie on occasions for the fantastic views.
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
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
Good for them. Beautiful.
Moved here in 1989 from overseas to start my first "real" job. Once while exploring with my wife and little daughter, we were invited into a shack for a drink with a older fella at Garie beach. Had a very nice chat. And he told me that my new employer were a bunch of buffoons, ****heads, and idiots. He used to work there. Anyways, we thanked him and said goodbye. Thinking back on it, he was right.
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 🙏🙏
Thats priceless!
love those shacks lets hope the greenies don't get involved and they can stay there forever. important part of aussie history.
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 ❤
Lovely
special
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!
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
Wow the creek looks good again , are there still mud pools at the back ?
Get locked up if u tried to live and survive anywhere in Australia like this now ..
Long may this community remain as it is!
No one mentioned the shacks at Bulgo over the cliff at Otford, no road there either
Spent many weekends down there camping. Would love to know how to get one?
This sounds idyllic but if the land wasn’t bought it’s public land . Same thing at Broken Head. A date was set and the buildings were returned to the park.
I stayed down there as a kid. Is it the figure 8?
It’s a fair walk further Sth to the figure 8 pools
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
