National Trust award winners

We are beyond stoked to receive the National Trust's award for Adaptive Reuse! 🏆

A massive thank you to @nationaltrustnsw & @illwarramerc for the write up 😍 We also couldn't have done it without our architect and heritage consultant Geoff Borst, and our builder Mark Tarasenko of Eastbourne Builders! As well as our wonderful wives Natalie and Belinda for all the work they have done and their constant support. Huge thanks as well to Wollongong Councils planning staff and their heritage officers, Joel and Carly for their support.

Lastly, and most importantly we'd like to thank, YOU GUYS! If it wasn’t for the activism of the community the guesthouse would have been demolished and a unique part of our heritage lost forever. The tireless work of the community has enabled the tradition of hospitality to continue, and once again the public are able to enjoy the charms of the Bulli Railway Guesthouse.
