Starting with a wonderful home cooked morning tea on arrival at the island, we were met by our tour guide, John Walsh, a current bach owner, who explained the history of the island, the significance of the bach community, how the baches came to being on the island, the prison gangs who spent 9 years on the island building roads and creating archways, salt water swimming pool and a tennis court (never finished). We got to wander amongst some of the baches and went inside for an up close and personal look at what memorabilia John's bach has inside. Everything on the island is reused, especially the flotsam which washes up.
