Mollymook

at the time? School's certainly changed, hasn't it, since way back when? It really has.

Speaking of teachers, we've got one on the phone this morning from Molly Mook.

Kim, you're a teacher and you had an experience with a ghost on school camp.

Tell us what

Where does that sit?

So look, Mollymook, love the place.

Um, very close to my heart.

My parents have a farm in Milton.

we had yeah it was a level of service that comes with paying that price

did you guys ever do the numbers on the budget side to be like hey this one is better than this one or is it more of just more like uh no no this this is what fits the area

Yeah, it was definitely what fits the area because we looked at Mollymook as a whole and Bannisters is really the only other luxury accommodation down there.

So there's a lot of like B and C grade accommodation options where it's old 50s, 60s motels.

Parents used to own a motel in Nowra.

And then after that, we lived in Mollymook on the south coast until I was about 28.

And when I was down there, I was in another Christian rock band at that time.

But we decided to move to Canberra for work predominantly.

Shoalhaven Council wants tourists to pay for parking at popular holiday destinations, but locals would be given a free pass.

The changes have been considered for Huskisson, Berry, Himes Beach and Mollymook.

Love all of those places.

It's part of a plan to raise millions of dollars in extra revenue.

So Stewart Bunn from First National Real Estate, he joined us to speak about this.

And he had some really cool examples as well down in Mollymook with Princess Diana.

no less.

Yeah, lots of people, you know, lots of different examples from in Australia and around the world of where this happens, yeah.

Yes, certainly.

Well, perhaps let's start with the positive.

I mean, quite close to home, down in Mollymook, Diana Spencer famously stayed in a residence on the waterfront there while she was mulling Charles's marriage proposal.

And every time that property comes up for sale, that positively influences the media around the sale and obviously potentially increases the value of the property as well.

Yep.

And then after that we lived in Mollymook on the South Coast until I was about 28.

And when I was down there I was in, um, uh, another, uh, Christian rock band at that time, but we decided to move to, to Canberra for, for work predominantly.

[laughs] Um-

You were very young, but your toys would fucking go off at all hours of the night and all kinds of shit.

You'd talk to people that weren't there and all kinds of stuff, but by the time we moved to that Mollymook house...

You had quite a few things happen there too,

didn't you? Yeah, when I started noticing, I was probably old enough to start getting scared by it.
