Great escape

The sense of release from city life is palpable at Fish Creek. “When we’re here, or on the drive from Melbourne, everything that’s bugging us melts away,” says Simone. “Even when we were camping in the shed it was great. We loved being connected to the land and sea and tried to maintain that: just to be free and outdoors as much as possible, even when the weather is rubbish. This place is amazing – a true haven.”
