Situated between Rebecca Lagoon and Sandy Cape is the small fishing port, Temma Harbour. The harbour falls in to the geographical category of the Tarkine region. Temma was once the port for the tin mining outpost of Balfour with a horse-drawn wooden tramway connecting the town and port. Nowadays, it is an isolated harbour offering shelter from the wild seas. There are a few shacks and a slipway that fishermen use to pull their boats up in bad weather. The harbour itself has a good quantity of Crayfish and Abalone as well as an abundance of Bull and She Kelp. Surprisingly there isn’t a large amount of actual fish life, probably due to large swells on the coastline.
A variety of the extremely rare Goodeniaceae (Scaevola albida) grows in just three localities in Australia, two on Flinders Island and one near Temma.
