OVERVIEW<\/strong>: The Gully is an important place in Country for Gundungurra, Darug and other Aboriginal People as well as non-Aboriginal people. The Gully forms the headwaters of the Katoomba Falls Creek and is therefore part of the Warragamba Catchment area that provides Sydney\u2019s water. It is an ecologically and culturally sensitive place. The Gully was declared an Aboriginal Place on 18 May 2002.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
HISTORY<\/strong>: Before white settlement, the traditional owners of the Gully \u2013 the Gundungurra and Darug peoples \u2013 used the Gully as a summer camp.<\/div>\n
In 1946, the area was developed as a tourist park. The Kedumba Creek which feeds to the Katoomba Falls was dammed, forming an ornamental lake. The shell of a Catalina PBY-5 flying boat was shipped up on a truck and installed in the middle of the lake, giving the area its informal name. People could pay to visit and play with the airplane controls, while speedboat rides were carried out around it. Tearooms, a miniature train, Ferris wheel, a merry-go-round, swimming pool, as well as a small cinema.<\/div>\n
