What makes Burragorang so special? It is not so much an emotive response to the fact that a scenically beautiful valley had to be drowned in order to satisfy a city's need for water. Beautiful it was before, and beautiful it is now, but in my mind the reason for its 'special-ness' is more philosophical . . .
The circumstances under which the Valley was settled are twofold: the controversial issues of convict emancipation in Australia, and the attempts to breach the western barrier which constrained the development of the young colony.
