DetailsFor many years, Berowra was a popular destination not just for the well heeled and famous, but also for the outcasts of polite society. Many were sent to live out their days, ‘out of sight and out of mind’ of their more acceptable family members, while others came of their own accord, finding peace in the tranquil surroundings. Still others caused quite a stir even in the welcoming and accepting community. The wild man of Berowra was apparently one such man, running around the bush district naked, making strange sounds and climbing trees ‘with the agility of a squirrel’. Who was this man, how did he come to be in Berowra, and what happened to him?CreatorBerowra Living History GroupKeywordsBerowraBerowra Living History Group
