In the mid 1950’s due to the prevailing southerly winds the
township of Venus Bay was threatened by encroaching sand hills. The
residence of Mr MH Little was in the path a very large drift and
the rapidly approaching sand. Messrs Grant Dolphin and Mick Obrien
travelled to Purlubie Beach near Streaky Bay where they pulled a
large quantity of the grass known locally as Whip Grass and brought
this back to Venus Bay. With the help of other locals such as Len
and Irene Broad and Jack and Joyce Cook this grass was replanted on
the dunes. Later bamboo was planted and the sand was stopped in its
tracks but not before overtaking some outhouses at the back of Mr
Little’s residence.
A small plastic cammo container with note pad and pencil but
room for small items if you wish.
