THE MOUSEHOLE

The Mousehole at Avoca Beach is celebrating its 35th year in business during the month of September.   We think this is a special achievement when so many businesses are competing for the attention of the discerning buyer.

Spring is here so do pay them a visit and see their lovely display of goods and maybe do some early Christmas shopping.  They are very happy to take Lay-Bys and you are welcome to go and browse and maybe learn more about the interesting history of The Mousehole from one of the on duty “Mice”.   It is the longest running co-operative on the Coast.

The address is Shop 184a Avoca Drive Avoca Beach  4382 1437

Thanks Wendy Gourlay for keeping in touch.  Please pass on our congratulations to all the “Mice”
