Timber Country in the Clyde River Hinterland
Currowan is a sparsely settled forest locality in the hinterland north-west of Batemans Bay, in the Clyde River country around Nelligen. State forest and national park cover much of it, with rural blocks, a few homes and forestry roads between the ridges. The Kings Highway is the main link to Batemans Bay on the coast and up the Clyde Mountain to Braidwood and Canberra.
The name became widely known in the summer of 2019-20, when the Currowan fire started in this area in late November and burned for weeks across a huge area of the Shoalhaven and Eurobodalla. For residents here, bushfire readiness is part of everyday life, and that includes making sure their technology, communications and records can cope when conditions turn.
Living Among the Forests
Homes in Currowan are spread out on large, often heavily timbered blocks. Fixed-line internet is unlikely, so households usually depend on satellite or fixed wireless, and mobile coverage can disappear in the valleys. Power outages are common enough during storms and fire season that backup plans matter.
We help residents set up the most reliable connection available, then protect it with backup power and alternate ways to receive warnings. We also look after computers and phones, back up family photos and documents off site, and make sure devices are ready to grab if the household needs to leave in a hurry.
Rural Operators in the Hinterland
Work around Currowan is tied to the land and the forests: small grazing properties, timber and contracting businesses, bee-keepers and people running home-based enterprises who travel into Batemans Bay for supplies. Some residents commute to jobs on the coast, while others work remotely for employers elsewhere.
These operations need technology that handles distance and disruption. That means records kept in the cloud, laptops ready to travel, secure accounts for suppliers and banking, and a fallback connection when the main link fails. We help set these up and remain available by phone and remote support. For contractors who carry sensitive data, disk encryption protects it if a laptop goes missing.
Reaching Currowan Properties
Currowan lies inland from Batemans Bay, with Nelligen on the Clyde River and the Kings Highway nearby. Batemans Bay is the main town for services, while Braidwood is the nearest tableland town across the Clyde Mountain. Many roads in the area are unsealed forestry tracks. Currowan is part of the Eurobodalla side of the Batemans Bay district rather than the Shoalhaven proper, although the 2019-20 fire that bears its name burned far into both.
We plan visits carefully, confirm access and conditions beforehand and combine trips with other work around the Bay. Remote support covers many issues. For more on protecting important files, see our data backups service.
