Tin City

Tin City, at Stockton Beach on the New South Wales mid north coast, is made up from 11 Shacks, where squatters live in desert conditions, battling the natural elements for 50 years. When the wind rises and the sand dunes become mobile, residents are forced to band together into digging shifts, toiling around the clock to save their shacks from being buried. The sand advances nearly 1 metre per year. Coca Cola has filmed advertisements here and part of Mad Max was also shot in this area.
