About Cuttagee
Cuttagee is a coastal locality in the Bega Valley Shire of New South Wales, encompassing the postcode 2546. Situated south of Bermagui, the area is defined by its coastal geography, which includes Cuttagee Beach, Cuttagee Lake, and the Cuttagee Inlet. The landscape is characterized by a mix of coastal bushland, wetland environments, and rural residential properties, forming part of the scenic Sapphire Coast region.
The locality is primarily residential and rural, with a small, dispersed population typical of coastal hamlets in the region. It lacks significant commercial hubs, relying instead on nearby Bermagui for essential services, retail, and schooling. Local life centers around the natural environment, with Cuttagee Beach and the lake serving as popular sites for fishing, swimming, and kayaking. A prominent local landmark is the historic single-lane timber bridge that crosses the Cuttagee Inlet on the Tathra-Bermagui Road.
Historically, the area developed around coastal shipping, timber getting, and small-scale agriculture. The heritage of Cuttagee is closely tied to the broader maritime and forestry history of the Far South Coast, with European settlement dating back to the 19th century. The enduring timber bridge remains a notable piece of regional infrastructure, reflecting the historic engineering practices of early New South Wales road development.
