The material is presented in theme form, illustrated with personal recollections, photographs and other memorabilia. Ours is a Shire that had to happen. Many were waiting to receive it with open arms, waiting for them to do something with this beautiful area. I have a lot of memories of the War years.
Many people don t realise the role that Bird Island played during the Second World War.
It was an official target. In fact, the area from Wybung to The Entrance was a key defence area. Some of the aeroplanes crashed. One crashed in Lake Munmorah that I know of, and apparently one even landed on Bungary Road at Norah Head, made some overnight repairs, and then took off again the next morning. The kids used to get down on the beach and collect empty cartridge shells that washed ashore.
