A little bit of
history on this area a fellow James Sebbens was born in Essex in 1814 and was
transported to serve his time at Broulee after receiving his certificate of
freedom he married Celia Ann Barling in 1851.
Celia’s father, Richard Henry Barling was a free overseer, formalized
his conditional purchase of land in 1852 and this is now the site of Barlings
Beach Holiday Park.
Tomakin named after a local fisherman, Thomas Akin and where the Tomakin Caravan Park now stands there was just a shack, occupied by a very self sufficient gentleman, Tom Barling.
