Can you help?.. the others around are quite clear..ie/ Goat Island, Bong Bong, Sydney , But I am not sure on location?? Any help much appreciated. Cheers

Denham Court is south west of Sydney about 40 klms and is now considered a Sydney suburb but of course in convict times it was out in the sticks.  Denham Court was named after the 500 acre (200ha) land grant given to Richard Atkins, in 1810.
