Camden History Notes

Abstract

Beulah is an historic farm property on Sydney southwest rural-urban fringe. Beulah has a frontage to Sydney's notorious Appin Road and is an area of Sydney's ever increasing urban sprawl. The property is caught in a pincer movement between two new land releases at Appin and Mount Gilead. These developments threaten to strangle the life out of Beulah is a vast sea of homogenised suburbia by swallowing up local farmland.
