Ulladulla's History

burrill-lake-webThe name “Ulladulla” is a European misinterpretation of the native name for the area which was Nulla-Dulla. Some take this to mean “a good resting place” evidenced by the many caves which show middens of shellfish remains from past feasts. The first records of white man’s settlement were in a survey of 1837 when a port was established and a prosperous shipping trade commenced, taking local timber back to the building industry of early Sydney.

Rural activities followed as land was taken up for pastoral pursuits and cropping on the fertile hills.


Ulladulla Today

ulladulla-web-1At 227 kms or about 2.5 hours safe driving time from Sydney, the township of Ulladulla is a far cry from the town of yesteryear being a fishing port and holiday resort. Ulladulla has modern shopping and two fine clubs; Ex-servicemen's and Bowling Club as well as a twin cinema complex plus Leisure Centre.

Every year several events take place bringing the local community together with visitors from far and wide including overseas. At Easter we have the Blessing of the Fleet at Ulladulla Harbour – a ceremony having origins with the large Italian community.  During September the arts community stages Escape Artfest – a festival of exploration and innovation in many arts media.

ulladulla-4-webDotted throughout the main street of Ulladulla are various retail stores including Bead Shack whom have various workshops and classes to keep the ladies occupied during the day or you could take a trip to Country Leather at Milton who have an array of leather goods, jewellery and incense. If you are in Ulladulla visiting friends why not visit Flowers on Wason they have a large range of flowers and could make up a personalised bouquet in a flash!
