Marg Campbell
‘Holidaying on the Bellarine’
Marg and her family first came to Point Lonsdale in the immediate post World War 2 era. Her father built their holiday house in the 1940s and the family spent many years holidaying in it. She now lives permanently in Point Lonsdale.
Marg relates many humorous stories of her childhood adventures and experiences during that time as well as reflecting on the changes that occurred to the landscape and coast.
