Gibsons
- famous for more than the Beachcombers
Perhaps one of Gibsons biggest claims to fame
is as the site where the long-running TV series The Beachcombers
was filmed. Although the film crews are long gone, Molly's Reach
restaurant and the pier (where much of the filming was done) are
still there, and several of the cast, notably the late star of the series,
Bruno Gerussi, chose to make their homes here. After all, they knew
there was more to Gibsons than The Beachcombers.
