History
It is known for its lush apple, nuts and stone fruit orchards. The natural environment of the area attracts visitors, and the village is in close proximity to the Mount Tomah Botanic Garden and the Wollemi and Blue Mountains national parks.
The area was first visited by Europeans in November 1804 when George Caley, the explorer and botanist, camped nearby during his unsuccessful attempt to cross the Blue Mountains. The area has had European settlement since at least 1832 when the property ‘Bulgamatta’ was established; now the location of the Chapel Hill Retreat.
During the mid-nineteenth century Bells Line of Road was a busy thoroughfare for herds of sheep and cattle being driven to the Sydney markets.
Children’s author, Hesba Fay Brinsmead, was born in Berambing in 1922 and her upbringing in the area inspired much of the background for her books. Her “Longtime” trilogy was set in the area and based on her experiences as a child/teeneager. (wikipedia)
