Hamelin Bay Location and History
Hamelin Bay vineyard and winery is located in Western Australia’s Margaret River wine region. The estate is owned by the Drake-Brockman family who have long pioneering roots in the area. The family association with the Margaret River district dates back to early settlement by the Bussell family in 1830. As a girl in 1876, Richard Drake-Brockman’s great grandmother, Grace Bussell famously rescued the survivors of the Georgette shipwreck on Redgate Beach with the assistance of an aboriginal stockman. Richard's great grandfather, Frederick read about the heroic feat in the Perth press and rode 300km on horseback to meet her. The couple were married in 1882. The Brockman and Bussell Highways which were named in honour of the two pioneering families.
