Description

Maggies Valley was named after Maggie Nicholso who, in the late 1920s, was the first person to drive a vehicle into what is now known as 'Maggies Valley.' From then on the people of Wyndham called the area Maggies Valley. Often accompanied by her adopted Aboriginal brother, Jacky Nicholson, she drove a Chevrolet 4 Tabletop loaded with bird cages into the valley. Bird catching was a seasonal job in those days anc the birds would often be sold as far away as London.
