My daughter is looking at a house in Callala Beach their very close friends moved there around 5 years ago. One street away from the beach.

There is also another well known SDC member lives down there as well

Here's a pic of my last house at Callala Bay that I had built in1997. A mere $24,000 for an almost 2000 sq. metre block and $168,000 for a 33 square house with 5 bedrooms, double garage, polished timber floors, double glazed widows and a ginormous lounge room. All built by mates with the exception of the painting.

Had some good friends who lived in Hollingsworth Crescent. When I first moved to Callala, you could drive a car all over the place where these houses are now.

Back then, the population of Callala Bay/Beach was less than 400. When I left in 2007, there were over 2000 people there.

My daughters friend live the 2nd street from the beach and my daughter and her husband go down there maybe every 6 weeks for a weekend.
Their friend is a website designer and works mostly from home. My son inlaw is an electrical engineer and works 3 to 4 days from home and would only need to come to Sydney once a month. My daughter is a teacher and has already been offered a job in the private / Christian school down there. So it's perfect for them and a better life style than sydney

Hi all, well I went to Saint Patrick’s College in Geraldton WA in the mid seventies and had a interesting time during that period, my favourite thing I enjoyed the most was serving in the army cadets. I left school at the end of 1978 to start my apprenticeship in the iron ore mining and that’s me.
