The most beautiful place on earth |

1965 Peacock Street slip |
|
|
|
 Mavis Yarrall's house is between the two major slips.
Val Barfoot's house is further to the south-east on the other side of the small slip.
No 15 Peacock Street is immediately above the big slip.
All the debris on the beach below the big slip has eroded away, but the foundations of the house which was destroyed in 1953 remain visible on the beach.
The Bampton bach and the Wilcox boatshed are clearly visible in Karaka Bay.
Ron Driver moved his house back from the edge of the slip.

1953 Peacock Street slip |
|
|
|
 Mavis Yarrall's house is just to the south-east of the slip.
Ron Driver's house is immediately to the south-west of the slip.
No 15 Peacock Street is the house between them. John Bull's house is just above that on the old pa site.
All the houses carried away by the slip were demolished and removed.
The path down to Karaka Bay is clearly visible.
