• Community

The Bundanoon History Group was formed by interested local residents in the early 1980s and has met monthly since 1984.

Its primary objectives are to research and preserve the early history of Bundanoon and the surrounding district and to promote interest in its local history.

Members have amassed an extensive collection of written and photographic material, which is available for inspection and research.

The acquisition of the historic Old Goods Shed at Bundanoon railway station in 1994 was a major step in the development of the group. It provided a venue where this material could be housed and appropriately displayed.
