Bukkulla, New South Wales

Bukkulla was the name of the property of George Wyndham (1801–1870) and means 'place of leopard tree' or a ‘high black stump’. Wyndham was the first official licensee when he held the Macintyre River property in 1839. The 1841 census recorded Bukkulla as having 3 free males, 1 convict there. Wyndham started a vineyard there along with a Thoroughbred horse stud which bred some good horses. The Bukkulla stud also produced some good stockhorses and horses for the Indian trade, too. The district's primary industries are sheep and beef cattle breeding. The village now has a sports ground, a public telephone, several homes and a communications tower. Macintyre Station is nearby. ==Citations==
