I just sold my fishing shack today and we had a garage sale etc etc. Sad old day.
It seems fitting to ask a history question of the area.

Who am I

My dad inherited a fair swag of money back in the old Blimey.
He brought us out to Terra Australis as settlers very early on in our history.
In fact I have a pub named after me over looking a most beautiful harbour.
