Update: 12 Sept 2023 while this history is still going ahead, there have been some unexpected delays this year.The impetus for the book is that the Pearly Shells/Waterfront Hotel motel building will be 65 on 15 Dec 2025. 2026 will be the 180th anniversary of the site’s start as a drinking establishment (sly-grog), to licensed premises, onward to also being for community and support, providing a live music venue and a place for families to enjoy Sunday lunch.
While fabulous stories and photographs have started arriving, more are welcome: weddings, celebrations, past owners, family histories, tourists, and a place of gathering whether due to natural disasters or your local 'watering hole'. Just a couple of lines, full stories; photos; images of documents - historical invoices, advertisements, newspaper clippings. If you are able to contribute, no matter how small, please contact me on https://www.suzanne-newnham.com/-contact.html
