The
town has played an important role as a port and commercial centre for a wool
and wheat producing hinterland and as a major fish producer and coastal resort.
The commercial fishing bounty is based on King George whiting, crayfish, abalone
and shark, with catches of salmon, snapper, garfish, snook, tommy ruff, trevally,
squid, crabs and scallops.
The town’s first building, Hospital Cottage (1864), is now a private
residence. Small seaside villages to the north attract their share of swimmers
and anglers, but Perlubie Beach holds all the tourist cards on New Year's
Day when it hosts Australia's most unusual race meeting.
