- Prospect_Hill_(New_South_Wales) abstract "Prospect Hill (New South Wales) is a small hill about 30 kilometres west of central Sydney. It is stands up higher than the ridges of the Cumberland Plain around it and with steeper slopes, but not much higher and not much steeper. All the same it is enough of a hill to command attention and its summit affords a “goodly prospect” west to the Blue Mountains and east to the man-made landmarks of central Sydney. Its present-day highest point is 117 metres high, although before its summit was quarried away it rose to a height of 131 metres above sea levelThe hill has historical significance as one of the first places in the fledgling colony of New South Wales where emancipated convicts were granted land to farm. For over 180 years quarrying of the volcanic rocks for roadstone and other building materials has been an important activity. For today's Australians it has historic significance, aesthetic values - it still has open space on and around it - and commercial values - there are extensive industrial and housing developments on its slopes.People have walked round and over Prospect Hill for forty thousand years or more and have recognised it as a landmark, a meeting place and a boundary. It was known to local people as Mar-rong or Mur-rong in 1790. Prospect Hill is actually a roughly oval-shaped ridge, a bit like a caldera.".
