History
The traditional custodians of the land surrounding Buckenbowra River are the Indigenous Australian people of the Walbanja clan.[2]
European settlement occurred in the 1830s when a horse trail was established running beside the waterway.[2] In the 1850s this rough track was replaced with a convict-built road, supported in cuttings by dry stone walls.
