==History==
The name "Couridjah" has been variously reported to mean, in a local Aboriginal language, anything from "The Place of the White Ants" to "The Home of the Medicine Man".〔Meredith, John. 1989. ''The last kooradgie : Moyengully, chief man of the Gundungurra people.'' Kenthurst: Kangaroo Press. ISBN 0-86417-235-4. Meredith points to the interesting similarity of "kooradgie" and "chirurgeon".〕
Couridjah was formerly a station on the Main Southern Railway. At the time of the line's construction, it was known as "Jones's Hut". That line was deviated in 1919 to a less steep alignment with easier grades, and the original line became the Picton-Mittagong Loop line. Thirlmere Lakes, to the west of the station, supplied water to the standpipes at Couridjah for replenishing steam locomotives, after their long haul up the steep grade from Picton.〔Bayley, W. A. 1973 ''Picton-Mittagong Loop-Line Railway.'' pp.26-27 Bulli: Austrail. ISBN 0-909597-14-6 Bayley also cites the spelling as 'Coradgery'.〕〔Wright, "Picton Locomotive Depot"〕 The lakes were formerly known as the "Coridja Lagoons" and "Picton Lagoons".〔Bayley, W. A. 1975. ''Picton-Mittagong Main Line Railway.'' p. 17-18 Bulli: Austrail. ISBN 0-909597-15-4〕 The sandstone pump-house is still in existence adjacent to the Lakes. The standpipes, too, remain near the station, but have been disused since 1964.
