Dunsborough Bakery
Dunsborough is home to the Dunsborough Bakery, one of the oldest remaining businesses. It was established by Nanty (Anthony) Curtis in 1941 and originally situated on Naturaliste Terrace. Nanty constructed the first ovens himself using hand-made mud and straw bricks. He would prepare the doughs at his home before carting them to the bakery via horse and cart for baking. Nanty used to use a feather as a thermometer and would know when the bread was ready by the curl in the feather. As one of the first food businesses in the small town the bakery serviced many locals and Nanty would deliver fresh bread daily via his horse and cart to many of the residents and businesses even as far as Yallingup's Caves House. The bakery has udergone many changes over the past 60 odd years but remains an icon of the Southwest.
