When you cross the bridge from Mossy Point to Coronation Drive Broulee there are five houses on your left. Mrs Violet Clark subdivided the portion and sold the blocks on the dunes after years of a futile battle trying to prevent camping, and associated fouling, there.
On the seaward side of the first dunes block south of the bridge, there was a block that has been reclaimed by the shifting sand. It may have been 'bought back' by Eurobodalla Shire Council, the same way that the blocks sold on Broulee Island were bought back.

ED AND ELAINE CLARK
23 ANNETTS PARADE MOSSY POINT AND 1 CORONATION DRIVE BROULEE.
Early permanent residents Ed and Elaine (nee Freeman) had been at school together in Canberra. Ed was the son of Fred and Violet Clark of 123 Annetts Parade. In the 1940s before she moved to the Coast, Elaine was one of the quite a few who used to travel between the Coast and Canberra in the back of a truck or utility, not enjoying the dust from the gravel road. Until their new home in Broulee (first on the right after the bridge) was complete, Ed and Elaine Clark lived at Lot 133 (23 Annetts Parade), next to Mrs Jean Arnold (who was then Mrs Whitham).
Through the 1950s and 1960s Ed was 'The Local Builder'.
Clarks arranged for Athol and Eric Reid to butcher their cow after she ran dry, and for a long time had drums of pickled or corned meat around. The drums were about 20 litres, square sided with a round hole in the top and a fitted lid.
Ed Clark was involved in the rescue after the Turners' boating tragedy, see the entry for Turner in the A to Z page.
For a while church services were conducted in Ed and Elaine's lounge room.
Ed and Elaine kept current an oyster lease over the area on the southern side of The Creek, upstream from the bridge. The purpose of that was to prevent someone else taking out a lease there, and seeding the area with oysters, which would have spoiled the area for water recreation. A benevolent act, and scores of holiday makers enjoying that part of The Creek benefited, and still benefit, without realising their good fortune.
