WINDLES BACH
TATA BEACH

Down the south end of Tata Beach stood Windles old bach. When its time was up the family wanted a new building linking memories of good times already had with the promise of more to come.

The main bach with one bedroom and large living areas has been built at the southern end. Like its predecessor, it is clad in dark stained weatherboards with white windows. The porch on its northern end can be totally closed when the westerly blows, or opened right up on still days.

A separate red corrugated shed contains 2 guest bedrooms and the old Garage remains. Linking these 3 separate structures is a closed in "outside" space - campground style - with washing and fish cleaning facilities.
