Baulkham Hills 

Baulkham Hills is located 30 kilometres northwest of Sydney.

William Joyce was the first settler in the Hills. The oldest building in the area is Joyce Farmhouse located Valerie Crescent near Seven Hills. It was built in 1804. The house was used as an inn between 1811 and 1826. Andrew McDougall, a settler from Buckholm Hills in Scotland, was given land in 1799. He was accountable for naming the district as the land in the Hills District was reminiscent of his homeland. The name was officially recognised in 1902.

Baulkham Hills is a bustling residential suburb linked to the city by the Hills M2 Motorway. The area has a wide range of cafes, restaurants, shops and quiet walks through Excelsior Bushland Reserve and the stunning Baulkham Hills Rose Garden.
