Historical information

Photograph of a building at Somers Camp.
Melbourne Legacy provide camps for junior legatees - the children of deceased servicemen. In the early years, Legacy organised outings to the property of Legacy founder, Legatee Stan Savige, who had a place in Balnarring/Somers, close to the beach. Permanent camp buildings were built in 1930. Legacy Somers Camps continued intermittently at Stan's property until it was decided in 1951 to make other arrangements for holidays.
