Hawkesbury People and Places
Australiana Pioneer Village
Name: Australiana Pioneer Village
Dugald Andrew (known as Bill) McLachlan had established his pioneer village on the banks of the Hawkesbury River at Wilberforce by 1967 and gradually many threatened historic buildings mostly from the Hawkesbury district were moved to the site. Bill McLachlan died at the early age of 54 years in 1971 and his ashes were buried onsite near the church. His vision for the village continued with other buildings being added over the years. The village has been recently re-opened by the friends of the Australiana Pioneer Village.
