Faraway Bay is Open!
After five months off including a whirlwind trip to Europe to attend an international tourism conference, followed by a double knee replacement operation for Bruce in Sydney, and then the national tourism award win in Canberra, we’re finally back in the place we love the most.
It’s been a hectic time making sure everything is ready for guests.
Bruce and I are so pleased to welcome a new face to the team, CC, whose real name is Denise but no one calls her that. I’ll let her explain how the nickname came about later. CC is Swiss, she dates our boat skipper Ben, and is a fantastic addition to our crew.
Of course, Faraway Bay wouldn’t be the magical place it is without manager Steve McIntosh who returns for his 7th season. Steve has been taking guests on bush walks and has some interesting finds – he’ll post some news about that soon.
Sam, our chef is also back for another stint, and we’re very happy he’s brought his guitar again. Sam keep guests entertained in the evenings with his beautiful acoustic guitar playing. The exciting news is he’s just released an album and four of the songs have been bought by National Australia Bank for their television advertising.
Life is good at Faraway Bay and we’re looking forward to a busy 2008 season.
