Do you have any old photographs or documents relating to the Kurrajong district? The Society currently has an extensive digital archive of photographs which capture many aspects of the district's heritage, development, people and places. In addition to growing this archive we are currently seeking to compile a register of early land holdings in the district. All these archives will be available for research and display purposes (with the owners' permission). So if you can help by providing access to the Society to any photos or documents relating to the Kurrajong district's heritage please contact the Secretary by email, or phone 02 4573 2226, or write to PO Box 174, Kurmond, NSW, 2757.

KURRAJONG REMEMBERS 1810 - 2010

"...we pursued our way through that District of Country called the Kurry-Jung Brush, which is a fine range of Hill & Dale alternately, and admirably well calculated for Pasturage, being well watered and abounding in good grass and good shelter for both Black Cattle and Sheep. Several farms have been located in this fine tract of country..." [Extract from Governor Lachlan Macquarie's diary, 1st December 1810].
