TIn CIty sunset || Stockton Beach {Explore 250, 30/7/2025}
A lone abandoned "house" in Tin City at Stockton Beach. Only really accessible via 4WD about 10kms south from Anna Bay along the beach.
TIN CITY WAS a camp made up of a community of homeless men in the late 1920’s during the Great Depression. The shacks are governed by a one hundred year lease signed in 1920 under longstanding squatters settlement, and the shacks are not owned but are privately occupied and passed down to family and friends. They can be maintained but not extended.
It's just sand and rolling dunes until suddenly a cluster of 11 shacks appears, off behind the beach, half buried and looking quite strange and lonely. Several scenes of the hit 1979 movie Mad Max were filmed here.
in City has no power, no water, and no sewerage. It pretty much defines the term "off the grid"
