Oysters and Oyster Culture in Sydney
Sydney hosts a thriving oyster trade with many saloons run largely by Italians and Greeks. The industry supports strong local demand, exports to Melbourne and Brisbane, and annual foreshore leases totaling about 404,084 yards. Leases cost 41 per 100 yards yearly for 14 years, with renewals and deed fees. interior lands are cheaper with five-year terms. Public oyster reserves exist but are exempt from leasing, while eating on the spot is allowed but carrying oysters away is penalized.
