Lore & Background

Gunderman is derived from an aboriginal word meaning 'house by the stream'. The hamlet is accessed by two ferry services crossing the Hawkesbury River from the town of Wisemans Ferry. The eponymous Wisemans Ferry crosses the river to a point down-stream of its confluence with the Macdonald River, connecting with the old Great North Road. It is also accessible via the M1 motorway through the Somersby and Peats Ridge interchange via Wisemans Ferry Rd inland, passing neighbouring towns. Gunderman has a number of heritage-listed sites, including the Lower Hawkesbury Wesleyan Chapel on Wisemans Ferry Road.
