Originally known as North Springwood, Winmalee was officially established in 1972.
In 1970, the Geographical Names Board of New South Wales suggested that the area which had been unofficially known as 'North Springwood' be made an independent suburb of the Blue Mountains and renamed 'White Cross' because of the rapidly increasing population growth of Springwood. However residents of the area objected to the name 'White Cross'.
In 1971, the Department of Education selected "Winmalee" as the name for a new school in the area. Though the residents of the area approved this as the name for the proposed school they rejected it as a name for the suburb. The name Winmalee was chosen by the Department of Education as the result of a competition that had been organised amongst the local people. Terry Macauley, who was to be of the school's original primary students, suggested the name "Winmalee", an Aboriginal word for North.[3] The word was in fact never used by the Dharug tribe's people in relation to the area, but is instead a reference to its previous unofficial name. The cache is a magnetic key holder and only holds a log book so bring your own pen.
Congratulations to bikerbuddy, waywardwoman and NickoHeap on their joint FTF.
