Budgewoi Suburb Overview

Budgewoi is a suburb located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia, as part of the Wyong Shire local government area. Budgewoi itself is located more than 100 km north of the Sydney central business district.

Much of the town is surrounded by water, Lake Munmorah, Budgewoi Lake and the Pacific Ocean. An Ideal spot for water enthusiasts. Long an area of retirees and holiday homes, rising housing prices in the Sydney metropolitan area during the 1990s has seen it become a sleeper town, with increasing numbers of people commuting to the Sydney metropolitan area daily.

Some sources give the original name as Pudgeway but this is open to conjecture with local historian stating the aboriginal name for the area as Budjeri, which meant “good conditions” and described the abundance of wallabies, birds, fish, prawns, trees, shrubs and plants they could use to sustain a healthy tribe. The early colonists named the area Pudgewoy but over the years it has been know by many other names: Budgeway, Possum’s Fence, Sinking, Sandy Point, Halekulani and the present name of Budgewoi which was made official in July 1978.

In 1827, John Slade offered grant of 640 acres but appears not to have taken up the offer. On 11 August 1843, Robert Henderson was granted 640 acres in what is now known as Budgewoi, where he had a dairy.

In 1856 Henderson Holdings was purchased by John Hargraves who built “Noraville”. Wollombi Aboriginal Tribe members are known to have worked on the property. Some sources state that Hargraves “befriended” tribe members. Cattle were grazed as far as Buff Point and Elizabeth Bay.

Norah Head lighthouse built and opened in 1903 after vessel wreckages.

Originally used for grazing cattle and agriculture, by the early 1930s Budgewoi was becoming known as a holiday destination and families would come from Sydney to camp over weekends and during holidays. However, getting to the area was not easy so it did not become as popular as other places on the Central Coast.

Chinese fishermen worked the Tuggerah Lakes area in the late 1850s, in particular, what is now known as Canton Beach at Toukley. While not confirmed, it is believed this is where the name is derived from. It was a base for catching and curing fish that were then shipped to Queensland, the goldfields and back to China.

1889 saw the opening of the railway from Sydney to Newcastle and Wyong turning into a proper township with the opening of the Royal Hotel and the first post office established. The railway was the making of the timber industry. In its hey day, around the turn of the century, Wyong exported thousands of railway sleepers. In 1904 the Lighthouse at Norah Head was built and the first few houses began to appear at The Entrance. Already early tourists were making the trip to Tuggerah Lakes – by boat, horse-drawn vehicle and train. They went mainly for the fishing and the long bracing walks along the beaches. Slowly, but surely, the population of the Shire grew. Roads, bridges and boarding houses were built. After the war, the Central Coast came of age. The event was marked by the creation of a New Shire, Wyong, out of the old Erina Shire in 1947.

The Budgewoi Public School was built in 1961, the first headmaster being Mr R. Passlow. He had a staff of five and about 150 pupils in the original block on the corner of Woolana and Lukela avenues. The official record of the school states that a teacher was appointed in January 1960 and the first class started in February 1960. It is possible that these pupils were taught at the Budgewoi Hall, the only one available at the time. The alternative would have been a home or a marquee.

With no high school located in the town, it has always been necessary for students to be bused to schools in the surrounding area;this was Wyong High School until the opening of Gorokan High School in 1976 and to Northlakes High School since its opening in 1981.
