Quondong Spring — Image credit: Campbelltown City Council

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

Quondong Cottage

St Patrick's [Quondong Cottage] was the first catholic school in Australia built from private subscription. The Catholic Church acquired the land from Mary Shiel. The building originally had a gabled hall of plastered brick. The veranda across the front was added later, as were the urns on the round-topped pilaster-buttresses. It was built in 1840 and opened on St Patrick's Day. It remained in use as a school until 1914 when Father James Dunne opened St John's Primary School in Lindsay Street. It was then sold to Mrs Keihone who had it converted to a dwelling, and wishing to give it a truly Australian title, renamed it Quondong. It was named after a Kurrajong tree at the front which was mistakenly believed to be a native Quandong tree. Mrs Keihone sold it to her nephew William Thomas Bourke who resided there till the 1950's, after which, Cyril Segal of Wilton owned it till 1991. The building is now owned by Campbelltown Catholic Club.

Dredge's Cottage — Image credit: Campbelltown City Council

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

Dredge's Cottage

Dredge's Cottage, formerly known as Fowler's Cottage, exemplifies late nineteenth-century Victorian architecture infused with colonial influences. Since 1987, it has served as the Veteran's Recreation Centre, the only facility of its kind in Australia. The grounds feature a memorial wall honoring local servicemen who lost their lives in the World Wars, while a lone Aleppo pine, planted by Vice-Consul Cafe Asik and Federal MP Russell Matheson, commemorates the centenary of the Battle of Lone Pine. Although previously thought to date from around 1890, evidence suggests it may have been built in the 1870s, showcasing a vernacular style akin to early Georgian cottages. The traditional four-room layout, along with a separate weatherboard kitchen wing, supports this earlier dating, while the Gothic-inspired verandah reflects the architectural trends of the 1870s. As the last remaining cottage on Queen Street, Fowler's Cottage stands as a testament to Campbelltown's rural heritage and is linked to notable early business figures like Daniel Fowler and the Bursill family. It is part of the significant Queen Street group, a remarkable collection of Georgian buildings that may be unique in New South Wales. Located in the heart of Campbelltown and is featured on the self-guided Campbelltown Heritage and Cultural Walk.
