Although there are only 238 locals in 62,000 hectares of the Applecross Peninsula, we are a vibrant and creative community of artists, musicians, artisans, craftspeople and entrepreneurs
Painters especially, come up here on retreat because of the amazing light and inspiring landscape. Many locals are generous with their knowledge, like history buff and spinner Margaret Beaton, who will pop around to Eagle Rock with her spinning wheel for an hour to teach you her craft and passion. She speaks about six languages too!
