Catherine Hill Bay Cultural Precinct

The Catherine Hill Bay Cultural Precinct contains small vernacular cottages and remnants of coal mining infrastructure from the 1890s along the coastal landscape.

The site received its name from the schooner Catherine Hill shipwreck in 1867, leading to the establishment of mining operations and a jetty by Sydney merchants.

The precinct represents an early Australian company town where miners and their descendants maintain connections to the area's industrial past through preserved structures.

The preserved fishing jetty and mining infrastructure within the precinct remain accessible to visitors interested in exploring the industrial heritage of New South Wales.

The collection of buildings in Catherine Hill Bay stands as the oldest remaining grouping in Lake Macquarie, maintaining its original townscape features.
