    FLINDERS FORESHORE FISHERMEN'S HUTS - History

    The huts may date to the 1880's fishing activity. The 1900's photograph from the State Library of Victoria indicates their condition at this time. The sites are also identified in the 1918 Department of Land Survey Plan.

    Interpretation of Site

    FLINDERS FORESHORE FISHERMEN'S HUTS - Interpretation of Site

    The archaeological potential of the site is unconfirmed as there is no ground surface visibility to indicate buried remains. Thick vegetation obscures visibility on the ground. The archaeological potential is determined from the old photographs of the area. It is likely that domestic structures associated with fishing exist.
