<strong>The</strong> Life <strong>of</strong> <strong>Les</strong> <strong>Skate</strong><br />
Apollo Bay<br />
But our favourite holiday place was Apollo Bay. We bought this little block <strong>of</strong> land<br />
reasonably cheaply. That was all we had though, we just scratched up enough for it. <strong>The</strong>n I<br />
started to get some second-hand timber,and I was also able to get I’d what I had left over<br />
from jobs. I began to build a little holiday house. I built it all in the backyard in Croydon.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n I took it to bits again and we carted it all down to Apollo Bay on my brother Neil’s<br />
semi-trailer. Over a period <strong>of</strong> a couple <strong>of</strong> weeks I put it all up. <strong>The</strong> family came down and<br />
we would camp there. It was like indoor camping. That was the start.<br />
Our favourite holiday place was Apollo Bay.<br />
