Tin City

In the late 19th century shipwrecks on Stockton Beach were so common that two tin sheds were constructed on a part of the beach in what is now known as Bobs Farm. During the depression a group of squatters set up some more shacks in the same spot and the area then became known as "Tin City". The city and surrounding dunes were featured in the iconic Aussie classic "Mad Max".
