Landbase Australia
Landbase Australia - A Brief History.
Having sold everything they owned Jan Baetz and Dolf, her husband, had spent seven years aboard a yacht attempting to complete a circumnavigation of the world.When Dolf passed away unexpectedly on the vessel in Malaysia - regrettably Jan had been visiting their family in Australia at the time - and when she returned to Malaysia Jan found that her floating home had been stripped of everything of any value, both personal and functional.
In 1995 jan was forced to sell what was left of the vessel as scrap for a very modest sum and returned home to Australia.
Now, close to broke Jan had to find some form of income, so, because of the problems and frustrations she and Dolf had encountered with the erratic delivery of their mail by a family member whilst they had travelled, Jan decided upon providing a mail-forwarding service for travellers on-the-move with no fixed address.
And so, in January 1996 after winning a federal government grant to help establish her business, Landbase Australia commenced trading from Jan’s home on the central coast.
