He gave the site the name "Wendoree Park" and hoped to build a village there of 250 self-contained cottages, overlooking Spencer.

Wendoree Park was historically made up of weekenders due to its remote, rural location on the east bank of Mangrove Creek.

Recently, Wendoree Park, a very close nit community has shifted from being made up of primarily weekenders to now permanent residence.

The people of Wendoree Park seem to be a part of their environment and have a deep sense of understanding for local fishing and crabbing knowledge up Mangrove Creek.

The deep level of local knowledge for waterways, bushland, and wildlife is something that cannot be found anywhere else in Northern NSW and around Greater Sydney.
