COMMON LITTLE

This small village has been shown to be smuggling. Tell the story of the Gilham family, carpenters of day, smugglers at night. George Gilham was head of the Little Common Gang and had two boats, the Long Boat and the Princess Charlotte. The Gilham lived at the Peach Cottage and met at the Wheatsheaf Inn, which still exists today. To take advantage of the surrounding area, try a small walk from Cooden Beach to Norman's Bay.
