European History of Mount Pomany

Cover of Wollemi National Park – European History of Mount Pomany

We could find no reference to the origin of ‘Pomany’ in either historical Australian chronicles or Aboriginal culture. We do know that it first appeared in written records in 1829. Its meaning and provenance remain an enigma. Who built the hut, livestock holding yards and corralling fences on top of the mountain that is now within the Wollemi Wilderness area? Did these works support illicit cattle transactions? This 112-page book contains several unique, not previously published maps and is illustrated with many colour photographs.

This 112-page book explores the European history of Mount Pomany, contains several unique, not previously published maps and is illustrated with many colour photographs.
