Explore Currambene Creek – without getting your feet wet! Our 1.4km Mangrove Boardwalk has just received a full refurbishment, which means it’s even easier to get up close to the mangroves, birds and sea creatures living in this beautiful patch of marine sanctuary. Watch out for crabs, pelicans and fish – you might even see a stingray!
The Pond is a tidal enclosure within an estuary which provides a sustainable habitat for many local fish species. This reserve is managed by the Jervis Bay Maritime Museum and the New South Wales Department of Fisheries.
The Mangrove Boardwalk is a relaxing 1.4km stroll through the Currambene Creek estuary. You’ll see Grey Mangroves, River Mangroves, birds, crabs and much more!
Lighthouses of the past are fascinating for so many reasons – their isolation, their exposure to the elements, and the crucial role they played in protecting life at sea. Did you know the Museum has one of only four known surviving mid-1800s lantern galleries in Australia? It was constructed in London by Wilkins & Co. and used at the ill-fated Cape St George Lighthouse between 1860 and 1899 and Crookhaven Heads Lighthouse from 1904. In 2016 the lantern found a new home at the Museum, almost mid-way between the two lighthouses. Climb the winding stair and take a look!
