History

Lang Lang pioneer Alfred Turner Priestley brought his family to Carrum for a holiday in 1913, and in 1918 he bought 170 acres (0.69 km2) of pastoral land north and west of the Patterson River, operating a dairy farm from its northern side. In 1966 the Priestley family after gaining relevant approval were instrumental in establishing a dry dock marina. The first man made marina in the Southern Hemisphere was formed, and in 1988 the farm along with the marina were sold to make way for the new suburb of Patterson Lakes. Having originally been named Whaler's Cove Marina the marina was later renamed Patterson Lakes Marina. Currently Patterson Lakes Marina is the largest marina in Victoria.
