Bungarribee

21/08/12 Volume 2 Issue 59

The land that “Bungarribee House” was built on in

1825, was the first land grant given in Blacktown.

Bungarribee means, “the resting place of the king”.

Bungaroo.

The house was built entirely of imported bricks and

stone and with local timber. No nails were used in its

construction; all joints were held precisely by wooden pegs, showing the true

tradesmanship of the times.
