Namesake

Catherine Hill Bay, located 133 km north of Sydney, and around Lake Macquarie, is a heritage-listed mining village that offers a unique blend of historical charm and natural beauty. The area is renowned for its preserved 19th-century miner's cottages, an excellent surfing beach, and picturesque landscapes. Visitors can explore Middle Camp, enjoy stunning views from Northwood Road Lookout, and relax at Catherine Hill Bay Beach. The nearby Munmorah State Conservation Area provides additional opportunities for outdoor activities such as bushwalking, cycling, and picnicking.

The area around Catherine Hill Bay was originally inhabited by the Awabakal people, who are known for their rich cultural heritage and connection to the land. The Awabakal people utilized the abundant natural resources of the region, including the coastal and inland areas, for their sustenance and cultural practices. The arrival of European settlers in the late 18th and early 19th centuries significantly impacted the Awabakal community, leading to displacement and changes in their traditional way of life. Efforts continue today to preserve and celebrate Awabakal culture and heritage.
