Gundaroo
Gundaroo is a small village in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia and in Yass Valley Council. It is situated to the east of the Yass River, about north of Sutton, about west of the Lake George range. At the , Gundaroo had a population of 402,〔 up from 331 at the previous Census in 2006.
The explorers Charles Throsby and Joseph Wild traveled through the Yass River valley in 1820. The Aborigines called the valley ''Candariro'', meaning "blue crane". This name may have been the origin of Gundaroo,〔''Exploring the ACT and Southeast New South Wales'', J. Kay McDonald, Kangaroo Press, Sydney, 1985 ISBN 0-86417-049-1〕 or it may mean "big waterhole". Governor Lachlan Macquarie granted the first white settler, Peter Cooney, in 1825. Settlement proceeded fairly quickly and there were about 400 residents in the 1840s. The first non-residential building in Gundaroo was the Harrow Inn, built in 1834. A post office was built in 1848 and an Anglican church, St Luke's in Upper Gundaroo (now part of a pottery business), in 1849. The first school opened in 1850 and a Police Station in 1852.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=The Southern Tablelands of NSW )〕 A major impetus for the growth in the middle of the nineteenth century was the discovery of gold in the district in 1852.〔''Canberra's Engineering Heritage'', William Charles Andrews, Institution of Engineers, Canberra, 1990, p. 5〕
