Prior to this the hills and valleys had been logged by timber cutters driving oxen teams from around Wollombi and Maitland. The Stinson family settled in Stinson’s Lane, the Waters family in what is now Yarramalong Village. Other early settlers included William Beaven of Brush Creek, who was the first person to be buried in St. Barnabas graveyard. Others who came to live in the valley include the Hill, Boyd, Palmer and Fernance families, many of whose relatives are to be found in the local area. As the numbers living in the valley increased, the need for a church building became apparent. Earlier, services had been held in the homes of the settlers. So originated St .Barnabas Church. - The early pioneer Australians, (mid 1800’s) from which many of the residents originate. - The Cedar Heritage (The red cedar trees were logged from this Valley in the last century, and the sawmill still exists) also still existing surrounded by beautiful flora and Red Cedar trees. - Indigenous/nature history with abundant wildlife (Platypus – Wallabies/Wallaroos and wombats etc). - Historic Wyong River which winds itself throughout the valley. - Horse Heritage – Horse Studs/ Riding schools etc. - Alpaca Farm. - Manor House – lunch, afternoon tea / dinner plus entertainment. - 150 Year Old St. Barnabas Church (restored) with original Cemetery. - One of the oldest Cemetery’s in NSW. - Local Public School established 1870. - School of Arts, built in 1904. - Popular destination for artists', cyclists & Sunday drivers. - Local arts & Crafts. When returning to Sydney, also try the Tourist drive from Bumble Hill . Follow the Road through to the T section on George Downs Drive, turn left and follow the sign to Sydney (a shorter trip). This will bring you back to the F3 at Calga (after Peats Ridge.) A poem by a guest from 2010. Teapots and canisters, lavender and lace, Hydrangeas in vases, bound books in case Verandahs of cedar and chairs made of cane; You will find "Charlies Cottage" down Ravenswood Road The kitchens so rustic with its old fuel stove; There's so much to see, the eyes do rove Round the shelves-to see an era gone by What memories,or secrets, here do lie? Peaceful, quiet,calm and serene Are before me in the lovely scene; A long chair with pillows invites me to lie And happily watch the world go by - poem by Marg Ress (Byron Bay - Jan 2010), a guest. *It is a requirement of your booking condition that you leave the cottage in a reasonable and clean condition and all rubbish removed to the larger bins provided on the front verge.
