The purchase of the former Goldfinders’ Home Inn at Kurrajong led owners Chris and Deborah Hallam to research their property, discovering that European habitation on the site began much earlier than initially believed. This inspired them to locate and document 160 early timber houses across the nation. The collation of this important project, Australia’s Earliest Timber Houses, is available free online and is intended to be an ongoing resource, with annual updates and future additions.
