Home Hill Boat Club
The township of Groper Creek officially came into existence in 1921 and commemorated its Centenary in 2021. The Home Hill Boat Club was incorporated in 1944 when a group of local boating and fishing enthusiasts realized a need for a formal group to initiate such things as a jetty, electricity and water supply, dredging of the channel and the installation of the telephone service. Many of these achievements were made possible from fundraising from many social activities organised by the club and government funding. As well as these milestones in the early development of Groper Creek, the club provided caretaking duties ranging from the original clearing of the land to bailing out water from distressed vessels and rescuing fisherman in perilous conditions.
