Winbourne, Mulgoa - The Missing Page

Visitors to Winbourne are routinely introduced to the history of the place, and some of its significant buildings and features. In the cottage, there are two large sheets summarising aspects of this history. An Aboriginal visitor once commented, "There's a page missing here - the first page." This was an offer towards the first page which needed the active participation of Aboriginal people. The four different categories which divided into four eras are:The hunting-gathering times (40,000 BP - 1788), The contact era (1788 - 1900), The time of overlapping cultures (1900 - 1960s), The dawn of Reconciliation (1970s - today).
