Blaxland’s Crossing is named after the site John Blaxland used to cross the Nepean River to reach his property on the western bank where his cattle grazed on the fertile river flats. Governor Macquarie, in 1813, granted land to John, the brother of explorer Gregory, which encompassed much of present day Luddenham and Wallacia. John named his property ‘Luddenham’ and built a homestead where Wallacia is today. He built a flour mill which operated from the 1830’s and a brewery which was one of the first in the colony. |
