Its railway station is the terminus of the South Coast railway line, which is part of the NSW TrainLink network. (Bomaderry High School ) is one of the major high schools in the Shoalhaven. The school is renowned for its success in state and national competitions with students ranked as winners or finalists in academic, sporting and cultural activities.

(Online reference )〕 It was previously part of the Shoalhaven Estate owned by David Berry whose brother Alexander Berry had built a road to the area in 1858. When David died in 1889 the estate was sold in portions. The subdivision plans for Bomaderry are shown. In 1893 the railway was extended to Bomaderry and the town began to grow from this time. One of the first houses in Bomaderry was Lynburn which still exists today. It was built in 1895 by the architect Howard Joseland〔NSW Heritage register, Lynburn. (Online reference )〕 for Jane Morton, the widow of Henry Gordon Morton, the manager of the Shoalhaven Estate. A photo shortly after its construction is shown. The road over the bridge in the photo is now the Princes Highway where it crosses Bomaderry Creek. After the town opened in 1892 several factories moved into the area. Messrs Denham Bros. built a bacon and ham factory in about 1900.〔The Sydney Mail, 14 December 1901, 1492. (Online reference )〕 A milk condensery opened in 1901 which was originally located near the railway station〔Shoalhaven Telegraph, 4 December 1901, p. 1. (condenser bomaderry&searchLimits=l-decade=190 Online reference )〕 but later moved to the bank of the Shoalhaven River close to Bolong Road.〔The Shoalhaven Telegraph, 20 October 1926, p. 8. (cooperative bomaderry&searchLimits= Online reference )〕 In 1912 the Nowra Co-op Dairy Company established a milk Depot at Bomaderry〔The Kiama Independent and Shoalhaven Advertiser, 17 April 1912, p. 2. (cooperative bomaderry&searchLimits= Online reference )〕 and this was a major boost to the local economy for many years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bomaderry, New South Wales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
