| Summary: |
A 'villa among the sandhills' near Robb Jetty, as reported in the West Australian, built out of whatever flotsam its owner could find from the South Fremantle tip and washed up on the beach. The owner was a pensioner, another victim of post-war rent rises and housing shortages in Perth. |
