Set on a fully fenced, level block measuring 765 square metres, 52 Grant Street in Broulee was built to stand the test of time. This three-bedroom, two bathroom home was brought to life in 2018 by its then-owners, a skilled architect and a builder. The couple envisioned a unique design featuring robust, low-maintenance materials, and they certainly delivered on this vision. The current owners fell in love with the property the moment they stepped inside.

Some days just call for a hearty pub feed but, if you live in Batemans Bay, you might have trouble finding one. The town’s popular watering hole, the Bayview Hotel, shut down for renovations last year and is still closed until further notice.

Luckily, there’s a spot just up the road in Nelligen ready to carry the baton.

Max was 13.

Aussies are known for our great love of the ocean, with good reason. The waters that surround our nation are teeming with life, their marine landscapes alluring, even alien at times. But there’s more to discover beneath the surface than fish and flora. Hidden in the depths that border our beaches are thousands upon thousands of wrecks. Sunken ships, aircraft, submarines and other artefacts can be found along every coastline, each with its own story to tell.
