Views in two directions from the site of John and Georgiana Molloy’s home: looking towards the sandbank that sits between Augusta and the Indian Ocean, and looking upstream over Seine Bay towards Molloy Island, with the East Augusta shore on the opposite bank.

In the 1830s when John and Georgiana’s children were growing up here, according to Sabina their eldest surviving daughter, the beach was one side of their home and the riverbank on the other.
