Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

Crookhaven Heads Lighthouse

Explore the idyllic little headland and the Crookhaven Heads Lighthouse at the mouth of the Shoalhaven River near Culburra. The original Crookhaven Heads Lighthouse was constructed of timber in 1882 and located as part of the Shoalhaven Signal Station on the beach, 200 metres to the west of the current lighthouse. The new brick lighthouse to the south of the mouth of the Shoalhaven River was commissioned in 1904 and the old wooden lighthouse was immediately demolished. Aside from the Keepers Cottages at South Solitary Island, this is probably the most endangered lighthouse in New South Wales, which should be of great concern to lighthouse enthusiasts and the community at large. The lighthouse is located on the south side of the entrance to the Shoalhaven River, just east of Nowra.

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

Berry Courthouse

The Berry Courthouse was designed by James Barnet in the Greek Revival style and built in 1890 and 1891 at a cost of 1,658 pounds, 10 shillings and 7 pence. The Berry Court House appears to have been completed in September 1891. The Berry Courthouse operated as a courthouse from 1891 to 1988, and as such, reflects the early history of governance and law and order in the region, and New South Wales. As an example of a small scale rural courthouse designed in the Classical Academic style, its fine, elegant design embodies late 19th century concepts of courthouse architecture. It was decommissioned on 30 July 1988 as it was no longer needed as a local courthouse. The Berry Courthouse is available for hire. It is an ideal venue for wedding, birthdays, plays, concerts, and other events.
