About Crowdy Head

Crowdy Head is a headland on the coast of New South Wales, 7 km from Harrington, between Forster and Port Macquarie. The head is mostly cleared, and it was quarried between 1895 and 1901 for the Manning River training wall.

It is the site of Crowdy Head Light, a 7.3 m (24 ft) lighthouse built in 1878, and has a small harbour with a dedicated Marine Rescue NSW rescue boat. It is also home to Crowdy Head Surf Life Saving Club.

When something happens

A fire, a flood, a road closed: a notice raised on this hub shows above every page in Crowdy Head, and on every site linked under it, until it is cleared.

Who keeps this

OurHub set this hub up as a pilot, from public information. Nobody in Crowdy Head runs it yet and it is not a council service. It is free, and it is waiting for someone local to take the keys.
