Coombing Park

The eastern boundary of the property borders the Mt Macquarie road which leads directly to the town Carcoar, which was specifically created in 1839 so as to service the Coombing Park estate and is situated about 1 kilometre away.

The town required the presence of about 27 Mounted and Foot Police, specifically with the aim of controlling the frequent appearance of bushrangers in the area.

Thomas Icely's original cottage was replaced by a large single storey but elegant brick villa that was designed and built by G.A.

A separate location on the property—about 2 km south-east of the homestead, close to the modern-day Fell Timber Road—was, from 1876 to 1878, the site of the Geraldine copper mine.

[4][5][6][7][8] The iron ore quarry was located south of Coombing Creek and just west of modern-day Fell Timber Road.
