Anglesea, a place of rich history and natural wonders. Known for Henry Heath's hard felts and the iconic Eastern Grey Kangaroo, Macropus giganteus, this coastal town on the Great Ocean Road is brimming with charm. In Regency England, Anglesea was bustling with trades like blacksmithing, Jappanning, and even goat herding. Pete Anglesea himself left his mark on this vibrant community. Flannel markets thrived alongside copper mines and skilled shoe-makers. Across the globe in Wales, another Anglesea awaited discovery. The Menai Bridge stood proudly as a testament to architectural brilliance while offering breathtaking views from the George Hotel. Engravings captured moments of significance such as the inauguration of Holyhead Breakwater by HRH Prince of Wales or the dramatic collision between Steam-Ship Liverpool and Barque la Plata off Point Lynas. Notable figures also graced these lands; one being Earl of Anglesa whose legacy still echoes through time. But it's not just historical events that define Anglesea - its natural beauty captivates all who visit. Shallow foam waves gently caress sandy surf beaches as they lose their energy from above.
