“What started as a simple desire to create has turned into much more.

- Claire Lloyd

I am drawn to beautiful objects and when I found a ceramic bowl that I loved in a Sydney store in 2017, I felt I just had to meet, photograph and interview its maker - Zsolt Faludi. It was my first time to Tasmania, and I loved it so much that in 2018 I returned with my partner, Matthew, this time to the rugged, wild, and remote West Coast. Staring out over a beautiful bay, I saw a settlement of miner’s shacks and my thoughts turned into words – “what do we have to do to get a shack around here?” These few words were all it took to set in motion a chain of events we could not resist exploring.

What started as a simple desire to create has turned into much more. Not only something that we can enjoy but also places we can share with other like-minded travellers looking for hidden gems.

“To me, Bushy Summers is the ultimate haven; a refuge offering peace, serenity, and anonymity from the outside world – set on nature’s doorstep, in an authentic community of other shack dwellers.”
