In the video above, Peter talks about his life and what drew him to Newell Beach.

Starting out in the Navy, Peter went into construction in Brisbane. However, fate brought him up to the Douglas Shire for a holiday with his partner where they ending up buying the Newell Beach Takeaway and Café.

They sold everything in their old lives and moved north.
