Kurrajong Trails and Cottages is set on 100 acres in the rugged Hawkesbury
sandstone ridges in the Kurrajong area. The main house and cottages overlook
Wheeny Creek, which stretches from Kurrajong Heights to the Colo River,
winding its way through some majestic wetlands.
The Wheeny Creek area was originally settled by Ticket of Leave
convicts who were provided with 40 acre starvation blocks. The convicts
descendents lasted until the beginning of the 20th Century when flooding
and a meagre existence from farming and cattle raising forced them from
the valley. Some of their descendents still come to our property to fish
and camp.
The property is set inside the Wollemi National Park, the home of the ancient Wollemi Pine, whose whereabouts are secret. Located 23 kilometres northeast of Windsor and approximately 1.5 hours from the centre of the city.
