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.
