Description

Est. 1805 in the upper Lane Cove catchment, cutting Blackbutt, Blue Gum and Iron Bark for building purposes and Casuarina for roof shingles. Timber was brought down the ridge along what was later called Fiddens Wharf Road and after conversion sent downstream to the Sydney Lumberyard. By Gov. Macquarie's visit in May 1810 timber was getting scarce and he suggested the camp would need to move. A number of public buildings including the hospital (now Parliament and Mint) used Lane Cove timbers. The timber station was then moved ot Pennant Hills.
