Some background information

Charles Kemp purchased the land in the late 1920s just before the Great Depression. He started a dairy farm and planted citrus trees (his father William Kemp was a local orchardist). The wetlands behind the levee bank were drained and vegetable crops were grown. In 1998, Athol Kemp, son of Charles Kemp, subdivided the property. Most of the land, including a large tract of bushland, was transferred to Council ownership as a public reserve while 20 lots were rezoned for residential development. The family house and gardens dating from the 1950s still remain on the middle ridge overlooking the river. The house has been heavily vandalised since the change-over in ownership and is now in a dilapidated state.

Charles Kemp Reserve has outstanding scenic qualities, varying from steep, rugged topography in the north to undulating hills and gullies in the south. The reserve follows a bend in the Hawkesbury River for approximately 600 metres. The river’s edge ranges from steep alluvial riverbanks to dramatic sandstone cliffs. While the southern portion has been largely cleared and modified for agriculture much of the reserve remains as natural bushland. It has significant natural and Aboriginal archaeological heritage, scenic and biodiversity values. It also offers outstanding opportunities for limited passive and nature-based recreation such as bushwalking.
