Description

The Lady Denman Heritage Complex is located on 10 hectares and houses a Museum with significant Maritime history, Laddie Timbery's Aboriginal Arts & Crafts, the Museum shop and a vast outdoor recreation space including a boardwalk, fish feeding harbour, and historic buildings.

The centrepiece is the Lady Denman - a wooden Inner Harbour Sydney ferry built in Huskisson in 1911 and retired in 1979. She was returned home in 1980, and now rests in a purpose-built building to receive her many visitors.

Other museum exhibits include:
- Shipbuilding, Shipwrecks and Lighthouses as well as the magnificent Halloran Collection housing rare and beautiful surveying/navigational instruments, weapons, artworks and historic maritime artefacts of world significance.
- Koori Coast: The story of the Shoalhaven Aboriginal people.
- Grand Visions: Past proposals for Jervis Bay.
- Jervis Bay: The history of Jervis Bay from 1800 to 1939.
- The Vera Hatton Gallery which hosts travelling exhibitions from far and wide.

The boardwalk is within the Currambene Creek estuary and takes you through littoral bushland and mangrove forest to a wonderful view of the Creek.

There are picnic and barbecue facilities, a fish feeding harbour, replica boat building shed and slipway (housing two historic vessels), two historic schoolrooms and a tiny historic church.

Markets offering local produce, arts and crafts are held on the first Saturday of the month with entertainment during the morning.
