 Cranebrook, New South Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cranebrook probably takes its name from a pioneer farmer, James McCarthy, who was granted 100 acres (400,000 m²) of land in 1804 and named it "Crane Brook farm", probably after the Cranes frequenting numerous lagoons in the area.
Cranebrook's geography is hilly and so many residents on the western side enjoy views across the Nepean River to the Blue Mountains.
In the northern areas of Cranebrook is more government-owned land including one section known by locals as the "drop zone" which in the past has been used for parachuting training by the RAAF.
