Holiday house

The house has now been moved, re-stumped and is currently being restored to its original condition by the new owners.
It has outstanding views across the lake to Howe Range and the full ocean horizon. Gabo lighthouse will reflect its light onto the bedroom walls every night.
The house has 2 bedrooms, one with 2 double bunks , the other a queen sized bed. There is an open fireplace, and a very comfortable living room, with a pull out double couch for extra guests. Air conditioning(reverse cycle) is installed as well.
In the living room there is a 51cm colour TV, DVD player and CD sound system .
The kitchen has been totally refurbished with a new electric stove, new full sized fridge and microwave,benches cupboards and floor coverings.
There is a new front loading washing machine.
The front door leads to a great balcony on which to appreciate the views.

This house was originally the home of the poet E.J.Brady's son Hugh,with timbers salvaged from the S.S. Riverina. The boat sank off Mallacoota in the early part of last century.The Riverina was a steel steamship of 4758 tons.
Blown ashore in a squall and eventually wrecked near Tullaberga Island, west of Gabo Island on 17.4.1927. All passengers landed safely and walked the 13 km to Mallacoota.
Several attempts were made to salvage the vessel, but in vain. The wrecked boat was a great tourist attraction for many years and could be boarded in good weather, but during WW2 she and the Easby in Gabo Harbour were used as target practice by the R.A.A.F. with the inevitable result that very little remains today apart from the bow and stern posts which are visible at low tide.
