BUNDLE OF LOVE

A COUPLE AND THEIR CHILDREN MAKE A FRESH START IN THEIR CALM AND COLOURFUL HOME ON VICTORIA’S COASTLINE, A PLACE RICH WITH FAMILY TIES

- TONYA TURNER

Returning to her family roots was something that homeowner Alex never thought she would do. Growing up on acreage on Victoria’s coastline, south of Melbourne, had its perks – roaming paddocks, caring for animals on her mum’s mini-farm, visits to the seaside – but by the time she was a teenager, she couldn’t wait to hightail it out of there and head for the city. It wasn’t until Alex and her partner Bobby stayed with her parents at her old family home a few years ago (when renovating their Melbourne home) that things started to change.
