In the late 50s and early 60s a flotilla of pioneer WA surfers headed over East chasing quality waves and good times. They included the late Brian Cole and Bernie Huddle (ex NSW), Arty Taylor, Graeme ‘Cocko’ Killen, Jim Keenan and Colleen’s brother Laurie Burke.
Brian Cole – At the end of 1961, I returned to Perth with WA surfer Laurie Burke. We drove straight to Yallingup in the South West. On arrival we had a beer with Bill Copley the proprietor of Caves House Hotel and he offered me a job. I was a barman at the pub for 3 months and surfed Yallingup on my own mid-week while waiting for mates to drive down from Perth on weekends.
