Dwyer's Stage

Dwyer StageThe next Southcott award was presented to the

This stage was constructed by Vincent Bryan around 1884 or earlier. Purchased by Albert Dwyer around 1923, in 1964 he sold it to another resident of Tilting who moved or "floated" it to another location in the harbour.

Tilting Recreation and Cultural Society has sponsored projects that enhance the cultural landscape of Tilting and are committed to the preservation of all aspects of Tilting's material culture: houses, outbuildings, fences, gardens, boats, tools, and furniture. Tilting is one of our last communities where you can still find a full range of outbuildings associated with the traditional inshore fishery and also with traditional agricultural practices.

Deteriorating to the point that it was endangered, the owner agreed to donate it to TRACS so that it could be restored in its original location. The actual "floating" of the stage became quite an attraction because it was a reminder of a custom once common for both houses and outbuildings.

The wharves for the fishing stage were reconstructed using materials and details identical to the original. The next part of the restoration project was to float over and restore an old fish store donated by the Burke family. Built by their ancestors in the late 19th century, it was raised to two storeys many years ago.
