Itinerary -
Set like a gem into shades of green and blue, Tathra surrounds itself in the natural beauty of both Mimosa Rocks National Park to the north, and Bournda National Park to the south. It is home to many seabirds such as the endangered Little Tern, Pied Oyster Catcher and an abundance of wildlife.
The coastal town is rich in history and traditions of the sea. Tathra Wharf is still a centre of activity today, its historic timbers standing proud and creating a focus for visitors and those wanting to cast a line. It is the only remaining sea wharf on the East Coast.
While the Wharf stands proud above the waters, below is a wonderland for scuba divers and snorkellers. Fur seals and Fairy Penguins from the colony on Montague Island sometimes frequent the waters around the Wharf and are quite willing to let you be a part of their underwater world. Dolphins are also common visitors to this area and they can be seen off most beach areas in Tathra.
Tathra PS Octo-pursuit!
Two octopuses. One crab. The chase is on in the shallows of Wallagoot Lake. Bournda EEC teacher Luke Brown has a knack of being in the right place at the right time to show students our amazing natural world and these Stage 1 students from Tathra Public School had a treat today!
Under Tathra Wharf August 28,29,30 2019
A few years ago i saw a video where a guy had lowered a camera over the edge on a rope and under the water at Tathra Wharf, was a cool video and it's a technique i've now used many times ever since, finally got the chance to get there and have a look myself. I didn't think there was much life left under the piers/wharves of Australia but there is!
Apparently i just missed a bunch of sharks by a day or so as there had been a whale unfortunately washed up about 50 metres from the wharf so no diving! Enjoy a few miunutes of serenity under Tathra Wharf NSW
Here is some more info about the historic wharf from the Tathra Wharf wikipedia page
Tathra Wharf is a heritage-listed former wharf precinct and now museum and cafe at Wharf Road, Tathra, Bega Valley Shire, New South Wales, Australia. It was built from 1860 to 1862. The property is owned by the Department of Planning and Infrastructure (State Government). It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999
The first wharf at Tathra (not Kianinny) was constructed around 1860-1861 and was in the form of a simple jetty projecting into the ocean. It was known as the Farmer's Sea Wharf. This structure was quickly superseded in 1861-1862 with the erection of a new wharf built over the earlier structure. It was constructed from turpentine timber brought down from the north coast. The structure was consequently extended in 1873, 1878, 1886, 1889 up to the turn of the century. There is a record of two sheds being erected on the early wharf of which there are no remains but drawings prepared by the Department of Public Works survive.[1]
The wharf was built in response to the need for coastal shipping after the commencement of the Illawarra and South Coast Steam Navigation Company in 1858. The first cargo vessel to call at Tathra was in 1858. It moored offshore and the cargo was transported by small boat from a location known as Kangarutha. A store shed was constructed there in the same year and an access road a year later. The following year Kianinni was discovered to be more sheltered for loading and a store was built there. Cargo was still shipped from the beach by small boat to vessels moored in the bay.[1]
During the early period of the wharf Public Works records show that significant repairs were carried out to the wharf structure including re-piling and change of location of piles as techniques of piling improved. The changes and increase in size of the wharf can also be clearly related to increased shipping needs, larger ships visiting the wharf and the need for deeper mooring.[1]
The wharf and buildings continued to be extended after the turn of the century. The cattle and pig yards were added in 1901, the wharf was again extended in 1903 and the buildings reconstructed with the present two storey structure in 1907. At this time a major upgrade took place with the introduction of spring-loaded wrought iron buffers to assist in the berthing of larger vessels in the difficult north-easterly seas to which the wharf was exposed. This was in conjunction with a mooring buoy to the north east of the jetty. When ships berthed at the wharf they would drop anchor to the north west of the wharf and attach a spring line from the mooring buoy and from these would spring against the buffers in front of the wharf.[1]
The position of the wharf was selected as it was the most protected position in the area particularly from the south.[1]
Between 1907 and 1912 the wharf underwent major extensions in 8 definable stages including a sub-deck, jib crane, the addition of the cattle race, loading ramp and passenger shelter.

ABOUT HAI
——————————————————————————————————————
Hi! my name is Hai (pronounced as Hi). Whenever I travel or meet someone for the first time people always greet me and say ‘Hi Hai!’ So I thought I would call my channel the same name.
I’m a passionate creator, with a love of adventure. I have a Master’s Degree of Design, and I started off as an illustrator, evolving into a graphic designer, digital designer, motion graphic animator, video editor, travel & lifestyle photographer and videographer.
I’ve had over 15 years experience in the Advertising and Marketing industry which has really built my skills and experience. I have experience in managing a team of designers & developers to design and build ideas, marketing collaterals, websites and creating motion videos, branding and advertisements for small to large companies.
My main love is traveling. I often capture videos and photos of landscapes & lifestyle moments during any free time I get, which is my creative escape from the daily grind.
My specialism is in telling outdoor, travel and adventure stories through photography, video and 360-degree imagery. I’ve been fortunate to travel around the world capturing scenic beautiful landscapes and horizons with my Nikon D810 and my Phantom 4 Drone equipment. I love the outdoors and always have done, so to spend time in nature is absolutely thrilling for me. I am currently building my global portfolio, building a collection of stunning images that will look beautiful in any home or office.
I’m available to work on tourism, travel and commercial projects both locally and internationally.
