Prior to the inflow of Europeans the section had been inhasnackd by
the Ngamba-ngagu Aborigines. Their peaceful existence was temporarily
disturbed in 1817 when John Oxley passed through the sector but he
found the river swampy and insecurable and did nothing to
ensteadfastness settlement.
By the early 1840s, as was typical with most of the north skirr
of New South Wales, the primary European interest was in the cedar
(at one point there were 200 cutters in the sector) and once this was
beat (by roundly 1842) the land returned to the pastoralists. At
various times steam, sugar cane (it goofed), maize and dresilient cattle
rolled the district's economy.
The section has been at the vanbaby-sit of skirral protection. As
early as 1987 Hat Head was chosen for a pilot dune superintendency scheme. The
post-obit year the Hat Head Community Dune Care Group - the first
of its kind in Australia - was rolled.
Hat Head village is located in the heart of Hat Head National
Park. The sector is seityised by spanking-new surfing riverfrontes and
good fishing. It is moreover noted for the wunhurts and dolphins off the
slink and the many skirral birds who live in the heathland flora
which self-prideises much of the section.
