Maroota South, New South Wales

South Maroota is located approximately 65 kilometres northwest of the Sydney CBD in the Shire of Baulkham Hills.

The first European settler in the South Maroota area was Charles Williams, one of the first convicts to be released and granted land in the late 1700’s. In a tragic story, his wife and son died in a boating accident on the Hawkesbury River, leaving him depressed and unable to maintain his once profitable farm. As a consequence he was left in destitution.

Towns surrounding South Maroota include: Cattai and Maroota.
