Halfway down the stairs
Is a stair
Where I sit.
There isn’t any
Other stair
Quite like
It.

The welcome and strong sense of community that we are feeling as new owners of the Customs House grows every day - especially when kind locals entrust you with treasures that have been in their family for a very long time.

We are so grateful to Ted and Jan Habner for their gift of historic photographs and postcards. They will be cherished here ⚓️

The shells in the Post Office Apartment are a tribute to Mr and Mrs Laker, who ran the post office here at the Customs House in the late 1800’s.

According to the South Australian Register on 1st July 1899:
“Probably one of the finest (shell) collections in the colony is that gathered by Mr Laker, our local Postmaster, who with his wife takes the greatest interest in conchology.”
