THE HISTORY OF ECHIDNA CORNER
In 1979 a couple from Devonport, Molly and Barry, purchased one of the last vacant blocks in Coles Bay.
Three years later, the block was levelled and the slab poured. Echidna Corner was a weekend job for them, because they were still working full-time. Barry had building experience through manual arts teaching, but the road to Coles Bay was unsealed in those days and they had to bring all their building materials with them so it was a long job. With generous help from family and friends, Echidna Corner was eventually finished, and when they retired in the early 90s, they moved to Coles Bay permanently.
It was always a summer house for them, because in the winter Molly and Barry travelled on the mainland in their campervan. Still, they continued to work on Echidna Corner, including a major external renovation during the pandemic, installing the lift as they got older and then renovating for short-term rental after they moved to Sydney in 2026 to be close to family.
Molly and Barry are sad to leave Freycinet, but glad that Echidna Corner will offer new visitors a chance to experience the outlook over the Hazards and the community spirit of Freycinet. Enjoy.
