With a series of sweeping bends leading you to the stunning emerald estuary and old steel bridge, the coastal town of Narooma on the New South Wales South Coast has it all.
The history of Narooma Marina
The Marina in Fosters Bay has a long history dating back to the 1930’s. Throughout the years, the marina has been re-built half a dozen times, while the operators have come and gone. Historically an old fishing village, Narooma has a proud oyster industry.
In 2014, two friends Mac Burge and Peter Hay purchased the Narooma Marina. Narooma to Mac and Peter was like stepping into a time capsule. They found that as time went on and life changed, the little town always remained a place that was familiar and safe.
The marina itself was run down and needed some creative input to breathe life back into the small business. Ultimately, the two men wanted a business that could be enjoyed not only by themselves, but also by their children. Both Mac and Pete worked tirelessly together to improve the look and feel of the marina, with their friendship continuing until Peter tragically lost his life this year at the age of 61. The Narooma Marina was Peter’s passion project, the enthusiasm and passion he had was the cornerstone of what has transformed the once run-down business, into a humble and energetic asset of the community.
