Koori resting place, Pymble Hill

An early Pymble resident related that members of a Koori clan periodically travelled from Lane Cove River at a point near Burns Bay on the way to Cowan, ’by way of what is now known Cowan Road. They always break the journey and camp on Wright’s Hill, near the present reservoir at Pymble ‘… He continued that the hill beyond the present situation was called by those campers ‘Turramurra’ or ‘Turraburra’ the word meant ‘big hill’.
