About Woollamia
Woollamia is a locality situated in the Shoalhaven region of New South Wales, positioned on the northern bank of Currambene Creek, directly opposite the township of Huskisson. Geographically, it is defined by its proximity to Jervis Bay and the surrounding estuarine environment, characterized by low-lying bushland and coastal waterways. The area maintains a modest residential population, with the demographic profile consisting largely of families and retirees attracted to the region’s semi-rural character and access to maritime recreational areas.
The locality primarily functions as a residential and light industrial hub, hosting boat storage facilities, marine services, and caravan parks that support the local tourism industry. While Woollamia lacks a large commercial center, its proximity to Huskisson provides residents with ready access to retail, dining, and professional services. Historically, the area was utilized for timber milling and ship construction in the 19th century, leveraging its position along the creek for the transport of resources. Today, Woollamia preserves its heritage through its ongoing connection to maritime activities, serving as a gateway for boating and fishing enthusiasts exploring the Jervis Bay Marine Park.
