The History of Barnetts Bakery in Crescent Head
Barnetts Bakery opened its doors in Crescent Head twenty-six years ago and has since become a treasured local icon. However, the Barnetts baking story began many years earlier on Australia’s southern coast.
“After we got married, my husband Frank and I worked for Frank’s dad in his bakery in Yankalilla, South Australia for eighteen months,” Rae says. “Then we bought our first bakery in Bordertown, South Australia when our eldest son Mark was only six-months-old."
Rae recounts the years of owning and selling businesses throughout different parts of Australia and how the family finally settled in Crescent Head. Once there, she says, they knew they’d found somewhere special.
“It’s been absolutely fantastic [in Crescent Head]. We love living here and we’ve enjoyed every minute. We just love it here.”
