Blacks Camp, Heritage site in Wellington, New South Wales, Australia
The Blacks Camp site extends across agricultural land on University Road in Wellington, containing scattered artifacts and building materials from former settlements.
Established in 1832 as part of Rev. William Watson's Blake's Fall Mission, the site served as a settlement for Wiradjuri people during the colonial period.
The location holds direct connections to fourteen Aboriginal families, including Dawkins, Goolagoon, Gotch, and Holland, with multiple unmarked burial grounds on the property.
The property falls under the management of New South Wales Land and Property Information, maintaining records of its heritage status since November 2011.
The site preserves evidence of pre-European contact through rock shelters, carved trees, grinding grooves, and ceremonial grounds near the Macquarie River.
