Waterfall Gully - Windback Wednesday
The hills surrounding First Creek were once covered with open woodland vegetation including eucalypts, casuarinas and native grasses. After colonisation, the land around the gully was used for timber cutting and sheep grazing. By the 1850s, the waterfalls were a popular spot for walks and picnics. By 1906, the area was widely referred to as ‘Waterfall Gully’.
