THE second meeting of farmers was held on 3rd inst. at Mosquito Bay. Mr. J. Sebbens, jnr. occupied the chair; it was decided to build a factory on Mosquito Bay road, Mr. J. Lavis’ offer of land for building being accepted. It was decided to proceed to register when 300 shares are alloted, that being the estimated cost. The following provisional board of directors was appointed: Messrs. J. Sebbens, jnr. (chairman), F. Barling, H. Lewis, E. Allaban, F. Innes, A. Lavis and H. O’Neill (secretary).

ON Sunday last by a special invitation we visited the Island of Broulee, the new abode of Mr. Uno Kosenen. As in a previous issue we stated that Mr. Kosenen has taken a 28 years’ lease of this island and intends to cater for tourists and local disciples of Isaak Walton.
With his life-long companion, Mr. Harold Norman, Mr. Kosenen is at present comfortably ensconced in a tent, but is negotiating for the purchase of a cottage which he will re-erect on the land he is buying on the summit of the hill from which there is a gorgeous panoramic view, embracing the Blue Pacific, the rugged cliffs of Toregy Point, the calm waters of the beautiful harbor and the quiet hamlet of Tomakin nestling amidst the green hills, the magnificent range of blue tinted mountains forming a glorious background to a lovely scene.
Our new citizen, who makes a charming host, has erected a comfortable building with tables and seats for the convenience of picnickers. During the afternoon Mr. Norman took us for a trip on to the schnapper ground and in a very few minutes a beautiful specimen of these luscious denizens of the deep was landed in the boat.
Broulee Island in the 1960's
In the course of time Mr. Kosenen contemplates making Broulee an ideal pleasure resort and intends to spend some hundreds of a handsome legacy lately bequeathed him by his late father in Finland. Undoubtedly this beautiful spot possesses wonderful potentialities, and if our Shire Council would only make the road traversable to motorists, there is nothing to prevent it from becoming the leading seaside resort of the far-famed South Coast.
