the bach was let out to extended family or friends such as the Pattens over the holidays. Frederick Burton died and the herd was sold during World War II. The Buckland house, which was in a poor state, was pulled down. The Leaches moved to a house at 31 The Parade. The original holiday home of Alfred Buckland, his wife and their 13 children was a simple house at 125 Bucklands Beach Road overlooking Eastern Beach from the ridge. The house still exists, although it has been raised and modernised. The north tip of the peninsula, which was originally called East Head by the early settlers, was a dairy farm called Westend. The milking shed for Westend was at the lower or south end of Musick Pt Road on an area of flat land adjacent to a small creek about 50 metres from the beach. The cottage on this property (near the water tower) had fallen into decay by the 1930s and was uninhabitable -it was known to the locals as the "rats nest". At the south end of the peninsula were 2 farms the one on the eastern side, roughly on the same land as Macleans College, was run by the Trusdale family. This was the farm originally owned by the Maclean brothers in the 19th century. In the centre of the peninsula, in the vicinity of Sea Spray Drive was a farm run by the Redgrave family and later in the 1950s, the Benton family. The milking shed was down a 100-metre drive at 205 Bucklands Beach Road. Along with a few retired people such as Mr Morrow and Geoff Fairfield (a great-grandson of the original Bucklands who lived alongside each other at the old Bucklands Beach Yacht club at 56 The Parade), these were the only permanent families at the beach although in summer many people came to stay in their baches. Mr Morrow was famous for making wind driven models of people engaged in various activities such as fishing and sawing wood which he put on his front fence. He had a donations box with the money going to charity. These models were still working in the late 1950s. The most well known was a model of a woman beating a carpet with the caption below "Work like Helen be happy". The Leaches' cows were taken to the milking shed which was located at Eastern Beach
