Tea Gardens Real Estate - Myall Quays

The Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest area is an area of unsurpassed natural beauty and has a long history, dating back to the first fleet. Some more information below:

 

 

The Tea Gardens area was occupied by the Gamipingal Nurra (Clan) of the Worimi Aboriginal people prior to white settlement.

 

Captain James Cook originally named Cape Hawke and Port Stephens when he sailed along the coastline in 1770. In 1816 permission was granted for cedar to be removed from the Great Lakes district. The cedar cutters, mostly assigned convicts, moved along the waterways in the early 1800’s.

 

The first land grant in the Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest area occurred in 1865 at Hawks Nest. This settlement was named after a large tree, which was a favourite nesting place for hawks and used as a navigational marker.

 

Tea Gardens, originally called The Tea Gardens, was part of the Australian Agricultural Company’s grant. The origin of the name is uncertain, but it is possible that it was named after the Company’s unsuccessful attempts to grow tea there or after the many tea trees in the area.
