Port Hacking Cruising Division Wattamolla (Providential Cove)
Port Hacking Cruising Division Wattamolla (Providential Cove) Approach from the SE heading NW to clear reef #1 and stay to seaward of reef #2. The depth is good off the northern cliffs. Run parallel to the cliffs with reef #2 to seaward and continue to the SW shore where a turn can be made around reef #3 to the anchor area marked in blue. Protection direction The anchorage is protected from most winds less than 20 knots, but not protected from easterlies and vulnerable to SE/E/NE swell. Depth of water Good depth all the way in with sufficient clearance to all reefs and shore lines. The average depth in the anchoring area is 3 metres. Anchoring Best position behind reef #3. If any swell comes through it’s advisable to use a stern anchor to hold the bow to the swell. Description This inlet as well as having great historical interest is in one of the world’s first national parks. It is accessible by road via the Audley weir or by sea. Approaching Wattamolla from the sea on the right day is a privilege that would not be forgotten. After a short run from Port Hacking the inlet materialises via a gap in the high sandstone cliffs. The entrance is guarded by three reefs and beyond is a beautiful white beach whose backdrop in a high waterfall cascading into the lagoon behind the beach. The holding is good into sand; however, care must be taken to choose the right weather conditions. You could imagine yourself to be at an exotic south sea paradise and only one hours sailing from Port Hacking.

Thank you from the President Thank you for entering one of our Sydney Royal Competitions. Once again, I am delighted to see the remarkably high standard of entries they attract. We first judged livestock, produce, cotton and silk in the 1820s with the aim of ‘exciting in proprietors an ambition to excel above others’. This initial aim forged the charter of the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS) – to encourage and reward excellence, and support a viable and prosperous future for our agricultural communities. Your participation in this competition continues the tradition and wholeheartedly supports our charter. Sydney Royal Competitions highlight excellence and the passion of so many talented producers and exhibitors not only from New South Wales, but from right across the country. Winning a prestigious Sydney Royal award is a reward for hard work and dedication, and brings numerous commercial opportunities as well. Major award winners have the benefit of Sydney Royal medal artwork to promote their success to collectors, customers and consumers. The increased interest can help our rural communities to remain strong and vibrant. We review our Competitions every year, to ensure they remain relevant to industry standards and trends, and we always welcome feedback. Encouraging a dialogue with producers and exhibitors in another way in which we can retain our strong links with agricultural industries and communities. Thank you to all of our judges for their expertise and the time they dedicate to recognising the best and providing valuable feedback to entrants.

They included a wombat (Diprotodon) seen on the right, the size of a small car and weighing up to almost three tons, which was preyed upon by a marsupial lion (Thylacoleo carnifex) on following page. This treedweller averaging 100 kilograms, was slim compared to the venomous goanna (Megalania) which at 300 kilograms, and 4.5 metres long, was the largest terrestrial lizard known, terrifying but dwarfed by a carnivorous kangaroo (Propleopus oscillans) which could grow three metres high.

Illawarra and South Coast Aborigines 1770-1900
University of Wollongong Research Online Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice- Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice- Chancellor (Education) - Papers Chancellor (Education) 1993 Illawarra and South Coast Aborigines 1770-1900 Michael K. Organ University of Wollongong, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://ro.uow.edu.au/asdpapers Part of the Arts and Humanities Commons, and the Social and Behavioral Sciences Commons Recommended Citation Organ, Michael K.: Illawarra and South Coast Aborigines 1770-1900 1993. https://ro.uow.edu.au/asdpapers/118 Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Illawarra and South Coast Aborigines 1770-1900 Abstract The following compilation of historical manuscript and published material relating to the Illawarra and South Coast Aborigines for the approximate period 1770 to 1900 aims to supplement that contained in the author's Illawarra and South Coast Aborigines 1770- 1850 (Wollongong University, 1990). The latter was compiled in a relatively short 18 month period between 1988 and 1989, and since then a great deal of new material has been discovered, with more undoubtedly yet to be unearthed of relevance to this study. As a result the present document contains material of a similar nature to that in the 1990 work, with an added emphasis on items from the period 1850 to 1900. Also included are bibliographic references which bring up to date those contained in the previous work. All told, some 1000 pages of primary sources and references to published works are now available on the Illawarra and South Coast Aborigines for the approximate period 1770 to 1900, though an attempt has been made to include items from this century which outline some of the history of the central Illawarra and Shoalhaven Aboriginal communities.
