Commemorating the Lhuede Family for their contributions to Wollondilly and the town of Yerranderie. Yerranderie is a town that once prospered as a silver and lead mining operation. In the years immediately prior to World War I, it had a population of over 2,000 and between 1900 and 1912 the mines in the area yielded 5,381,000 ounces of silver, 9,951 ounces of gold and over 12,000 tons of lead. The War saw the miners leave the area and it never really recovered. The town turned into a ghost town when, in the 1950s, the Sydney Water Board built the Warragamba Dam and cut access from Camden and The Oaks. The dam reduced access to a difficult drive on unsealed roads from either Goulburn or Oberon. Then in 1947 the entire town was sold to Mr Aubin Rene Lhuede (Aubin Rene Lhuede died 20 October 1965 St Leonards NSW) and for decades it was owned and run by his daughter, the remarkable Valerie Lhuede, who, in 2011 at the age of 89, handed it over to the NSW Minister for the Environment. It is now managed by the National Parks and Wildlife Service in Oberon. |
