Raby, Catherine Field, Heritage site in Catherine Field, New South Wales, Australia.

Raby is a heritage-protected property on Camden Valley Way in Catherine Field, located southwest of Sydney. The site includes historical buildings and the surrounding landscape, both registered for their architectural and environmental importance.

The property stands on land that belonged to the Muringong people, part of the Darug nation, before European farmers arrived in 1805. This early settlement marked the beginning of major changes to the landscape and how the land was used.

The property shows how indigenous people and European settlers lived on this land, with traces of both communities visible in the buildings and landscape today. Walking through the grounds gives a sense of how different peoples shaped this place over time.

The site is protected under the Heritage Act, which means certain areas may have restricted access or require special care. Plan to spend time observing the buildings and grounds from accessible viewpoints to understand the site's layout.

Raby was a 1,214-hectare grant made to Alexander Riley in 1816; his main home was at Burwood, so the Cowpastures property was run as a sheep and cattle farm. The buildings were put up between 1820 and 1834, and the site joined the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 1 March 2010.
