The Nungurner boat shed was built in 1942 by the Kleinitz family with reject railway sleepers and iron salvaged from the Bullumwaal Hotel where wife Mary Kleinitz was the last licensee. The family lived in the boat shed for 7 years! There was a stove top near the door for cooking and a fire was lit on the sandy foreshore for the camp oven. The parents, Buff and Mary slept at the top end of the shed and the 2 boys slept on hessian bunks at the bottom end. During high tides the water would come into the shed under the bunks!

A good capture, with a very interesting story behind it. I know of someone that lived in Florida, and had a boat shed, and she would rent it out like an apt. but the weather finally took its toll.

An interesting narrative Frank and some wonderful lighting in this picking up those colorful reflections in the water.

As always the absolute clarity of your work makes the viewer feel as if he/she were standing right beside you on a bright day. Thanks for this one; I already love it on my monitor.
