DescriptionThis site was originally granted to William Ralph, and became part of D'Arcy Wentworth's Peterborough estate.

In 1865, George Laurence Fuller of Dunmore House, purchased the land this cottage was later built on.

Between 1879 and 1886 the land was leased by Timothy Buckley, and an older cottage to the rear of the property is possibly Buckley’s original home.

Around the turn of the 20th century the land was farmed by F. Condon.

George Laurence Fuller's probably had 'Killarney' built about c.1903-1905, as in the Illawarra Mercury 25 July 1905 reported 'a new homestead had been built by GL Fuller in the Bassett-Darley Estate.

Mr. Ettingshausen of Kiama has been attributed as its builder.

GL Fuller's sone, Archibald (Archie) lived at property which he called 'The Farm', and farmed its 280 acres until at least 1928.

The property was later leased by, and finally sold to Kevin Murphy. The Murphy family farmed the land for many years.

It is unclear who named the property 'Killarney'. It may have been the Buckley family, or later the Murphy's.
