Rileys Hill Recycling


The Rileys Hill Dry Dock contains a number of historic buildings that came from other places. The former office of the Byron Bay Jetty was moved to Rileys Hill. It has been recently spruced up with a coat of paint.

In this classic early 20th century snap of a busy day on the Byron Bay Jetty, the shed can be clearly seen at the end of the pier amongst the sand dunes.

This photo from 1968 gives an excellent view of the pier shed and gives a bit of an idea when it was moved to Rileys Hill, late 1960s-1970's. It was not unusual for wooden buildings to be moved all over the North Coast and re-purposed.


The other building at Rileys Hill has a much less glamorous background, it came from the hinterland timber cutting village of Woodenbong and was the sewerage works shed. At Rileys Hill it was, and still is, used for storage.
