As you cut behind the historical boatsheds of the Tuross Lake, the buildings block a view that was once "the office" of those who helped local pioneers get their produce to market.
Transporting the farm produce and timber of the area was vital to the success of the development of Tuross and the surrounding communities. Like all coastal communities in the 1900’s, Tuross relied on coastal vessels to get goods to market and to obtain supplies from Sydney.
These sheds, decks and buildings serviced the once thriving river transport industry. Find out more about the fascinating maritime history of all these buildings here.
Tuross Boatsheds
The Tuross boatshed era came into being in 1913 when the Crown gave leases for sheds and jetties to be built. Over the years the boatsheds have evolved from places where boat and fishing gear was stored into various enterprises. Boat hire, supply of fishing needs and in most recent years, waterfront meals and accommodation, have served the recreational needs of locals and visitors to Tuross Head.
