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.
