Linden, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linden is a village in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia. It is in the City of the Blue Mountains, 81 km from Sydney. It is on the Great Western Highway and has a station on the Main Western railway line served by CityRail's Blue Mountains services. It was originally known as Seventeen Mile Hollow because of its location 17 miles from the Nepean River. The town is near the grave of John Donohue, a police officer reputedly shot by a bushranger. It is also near Caley's Repulse, a mound of rocks in the shape of a pyramid that is believed to have been constructed by Aborigines.
Linden Creek, which carves a steep valley between Linden and Faulconbridge, is a major tributary of the spectacular Grose River. A number of local people have claimed to have seen Yowies in the valley.
In 2001, the population of Linden and adjoining Woodford was 2,389, including 30 indigenous persons (1.3%) and 1,834 persons born in Australia (76.8%).[1]
