Kandos had a different beginning as a private village. It didn’t grow along the wayside; it was planted. It was envisioned and planned. A group of entrepreneurs recognised that natural deposits of limestone, shale and coal near a railway line could produce a cement industry.

Four things about me. I like reading, writing, researching and living in the country. In particular I like living at Kandos, where we have been for more than a decade. I have deep roots in this part of the country. My mother spent her early life in Kandos. My father was born at Rylstone. My grandparents were pioneers of Kandos and Rylstone. And I was born at Lue - and went to school in Mudgee. The history of this area excites me and I would like to share it with you.
