The Tathra Wharf Museum occupies the cargo building of the last surviving 19th-century coastal wharf on Australia's eastern seaboard. Volunteers keep a collection of artifacts and photographs tracing the wharf's working life, when steamers of the Illawarra Steamship Company (the Pig & Whistle Line) carried Bega Valley butter, cheese and livestock to Sydney until the 1950s. Saved from demolition and reopened in 1988. Open weekends, $4 entry.
