Lake Macquarie History

Heritage photos of Catherine Hill Bay - 2005

The following attached report includes 25 photographs of Catherine Hill Bay. Taken on November 10, 2005, the photos document the area before a bushfire swept through the surroundings.

The report features images of the Catherine Hill Bay jetty, the bin building, the Jetty Masters Cottage and Wallarah House. Sadly, the images of the Jetty Masters Cottage and Wallarah House are of significant importance due to the two buildings having burnt down in 2005.

The report includes visual materials such as maps, aerial shots, proposed development diagrams as well as a map detailing the locations where the photos were taken.
