History

One of the neighbouring 'houses'.

Miranda Park is located 5km from the centre of the village of Nerriga.

 

The area is steeped in history which dates back to the early days of of NSW and Australian settlement.

 

 

 

Pan for gold in your own creek!Gold was mined in the waterways and hills around Miranda Park, and local lore says we have the graves of two Chinese gold miners on the property.

 

Gold was also panned from the Nudgengutta Creek, the northern boundary of the property.

 

Our children have successfully panned gold flecks from the creek directly in front of the house.

 

Nerriga Road (main road 91) from Nowra to Braidwood was once called the "Wool Road", as it was the only access for transport from the coast to Braidwood. Nerriga was the half-way point for stage coaches to stop and spend the night at the Commercial Hotel, one of the oldest Hotels in NSW.

The historic Commercial Hotel Nerriga.

The Hotel is still there, and it's still a great place to meet friends and catch up on local news .

Also, a visit to the local Museum, housed in the old School house, is an experience not to be missed.

 

Our Miranda Park history:

We bought the property 12 years ago as a 'getaway' from the City rat race so our 4 young sons could experience life away from suburbia.

Experiences you just can't get in the City.During this time we spent most weekends and school holidays here.

It proved to be a very enriching, rewarding and happy experience for all the family and our lives are definitely richer and fuller for this experience.

 

However, family circumstances change and the time has come where we, reluctantly, must now sell.
