03 THE STORY

About this print

Shack number 7 at Tin City presents its full facade to the dunes, its white entry door numbered plainly. Corrugated iron walls stand against shifting sand, rust patterning the metal. The shack sits alone against a wall of sand dunes.

Tin City's surviving shacks sit along a low ridge of the Stockton Bight dunes, looking out over the dune field to the west and the ocean to the east. Each shack catches the wind differently depending on its orientation, and the sand and salt make their own demands: sand to clear, salt on the cladding, loose materials to chase down. The 11 remaining shacks at Tin City are administered under the Worimi Conservation Lands Plan of Management 2015 and stand on land held by the Worimi Local Aboriginal Land Council since 1 February 2007.

The series

Tin City

37 photographs

Tin City is the local name for a group of huts behind the frontal dune on Stockton Bight, in the Worimi Conservation Lands between Newcastle and Port Stephens, New South Wales, on Worimi country. In 2015 there were 11, all single storey and clad in corrugated iron, with gable or skillion roofs. Most were built in the 1970s and 1980s; the oldest still standing that year dated from December 1970 and the youngest from 1992.
