I'm Max Maynard and Grant Maynard.
00:19
I've been involved here for 50 years
00:22
and enjoyed it very much.

Middle road into Turners Beach.
00:42
After the light plane landed on the beach,
00:45

00:48
walked down through the booby alleys to see what it was.

00:54
And I thought, well, it wouldn't be a bad place to live,
00:57

Len said to me, he said this community wants a football and cricket team,
01:15

01:18
and it would be good for his business too,
