About Us
We (Seamus, Cate, Zoe and Boomer) moved to the Portland Roads Beach Shack early in September 2010 to caretake the place for Alan and Liz who own it.
This was a change for us – we have made a commitment to stay here until the end of 2012 at least. For the 4 years previous to this we had slowly been travelling around Australia slowly and cheaply in our lovely OKA, house-sitting among other things.
Cate and I build websites for a living so we planned to work on our businesses (Boldacious WebDesign and Serendipity Projects), caretake for Alan and Liz and explore the local areas.
We’ve also discovered that this is sandfly and mosquito heaven. We didn’t like using DEET products on either Zoe, our daughter or ourselves, so searched for a safer alternative that worked and eventually found Mosiguard and now sell Sand Fly and Mosquito Repellants and Remedies that work better and are safe, naturally!

I’ve had a 30 year fond relationship with Lockhart (and surrounds) including living at LR for 12 years regretably leaving in 2001 after a long stint as CEO. Also lived at LR 1983-8. Have a reasonably mature understanding of the area so feel free to ask should you have any queries history ethnography linguistics etc. Regards
Hi David, very sorry it’s taken us so long to reply. We’ve been flat out on all sorts of stuff. Have been neglecting this blog badly but will start to write more post very soon. We’d love any feedback. We’ve only been here at ‘port’ for a year so don’t have much of an understanding of life here yet (we are learning though!) And we probably will take you up on your offer re queries
