Royal National Park Coastal Cabin Communities

The Royal National Park Coastal Cabin Communities consist of three settlements named Little Garie, Era, and Burning Palms along the New South Wales coastline.

Private citizens constructed these coastal dwellings between 1930 and 1950, using their own resources and labor to establish settlements in this natural environment.

The cabin communities demonstrate the evolution of Australian outdoor recreation practices and residential patterns during the early twentieth century.

Visitors can access the cabin communities through designated walking tracks in Royal National Park, with opportunities for swimming and hiking in the surroundings.

The first structure at Era, built around 1910 by Aboriginal stockman Old Tom, initiated the transformation of this area into a recreational settlement.
