Sunset at Ulladulla Harbour - a photo on Flickriver

Ulladulla Harbour is a minor port administered by New South Wales Department of Lands.

A wooden jetty was built in 1859 so as to retain the services of the Illawarra Steam Navigation Company; the company had informed the farmers that would not call again at Ulladulla unless better mooring facilities were provided. After seven years the jetty was replaced by a stone pier built by the government on the natural reef. The company built a store on the harbour foreshores for the receiving of produce for shipment to and from Sydney. There was a weekly cargo service to Ulladulla until the mid 1950s.

During the mid 1890s, a 4 ft (1220mm) gauge tramway was laid out to the end of the main stone wharf. Manpower and horses were used to move the low wagons. During the period 1910-11, a double line of track was laid to the end of the pier. Public Works Department records disclose maintenance of track and repair of wagons at least to 1947-48. Almost all trace of the line had gone by 1991.

The harbour is the home port of the largest commercial fishing fleet on the South Coast of New South Wales. As a result of the influence of Italian fishing families in the area, each Easter a "Blessing of the Fleet" ceremony occurs, although in 2004 and 2005 the accompanying celebration was cancelled due to a sharp rise in the public liability premium. Although the ceremony will return in 2008.
