This is a brief history of the village of Couridjah in the Wollondilly Shire of New South Wales Australia. The book outlines Couridjah’s history, from its rich aboriginal past through to its humble white beginnings when the early settlers first arrived and established the village that we now know today as ’Couridjah’. As well as supporting a wide range of endangered native wildlife, flora and fauna, Couridjah is host to some very significant historical and ecological sites such as the original Couridjah Train Station, the Thirlmere Lakes and old pump house building, the Tharawal Local Aboriginal Land Council and the existing Picton Lakes Village complex.
