Save the Bay, T-Shirts Story
By Scott Sheehan

During my childhood, my family would always go camping for our holidays and one trip 26 years ago we came down from Sydney and camped on the shores of Jervis Bay in Huskisson. This is a strong memory of my childhood. I remember the white sandy beaches, the clear blue water and the green bush tracks. A few years later we moved down here and I started high school in 1984.

I have a connection to the environment, the ocean and the land. Being a surfer, the natural environment is all around you and you get to appreciate it hands on.

In 1989 I was in my last year at Shoalhaven high school, doing my HSC majoring photography art project, of the oldest house in the Jervis Bay area, the Comberton Grange homestead, which had been built in 1842; it was mysteriously burnt down later that year. These are the last photos taken of the homestead.

 

In 1989 I wanted to help promote and protect the Jervis Bay environment and its heritage for the future. I then started printing the first batch of shirts in my father’s garage and had them laid out drying in our lounge room.

The SAVE THE BAY tee shirts are back again, as are the ongoing & increasing threats from inappropriate development in sensitive environmental areas in the Shoalhaven and Jervis Bay area. The proposed marina, aquaculture, Comberton Grange Temple (= new town) Nuclear Reactor, In addition, the proposed Stockland development at ‘the Vincentia Crossroads’ will not only impact environmentally, but socially and economically upon each of the village centres.

“No new towns” was stated by the Hon Frank Sartor.

Yet the Shoalhaven City Council’s Mayor Greg Watson behaves like a real-estate agent - selling off our heritage, our culture, our bushland and even now Shoalhaven’s water.
