Browse property in First Avenue

First Avenue runs through the planned 1935 suburb of Somerset Dam, where the original layout features gravel streets lined with electric street lights, reticulated water and sewerage. The modest homes were built for dam‑construction workers and reflect the practical suburban style of that era.

The street links directly to the western bank of the Stanley River just south‑west of the Somerset Dam wall, providing easy access to Lake Somerset and nearby peaks such as Mount Brisbane. Local amenities include St Mark’s Anglican church (now holiday accommodation) on First Avenue, St Joseph’s Catholic Church on King Street, and the Coronation Hall on Short Street, which continues to host community events.
