History

After the Coondle and Nunyle estates were subdivided the area became more closely settled and a community was established. The Culham Hall which opened in 1899 (demolished in 1952) served the surrounding districts of Coondle and Nunyle but was unable to serve all the social needs of the expanding community. A hall was built in Nunyle in 1904 on one acre of land donated by Connor. The communities of Culham, Nunyle and Coondle each had a cricket team and played regularly in the anthill pitches. When the hall was demolished the bricks were used in the construction of the sanctuary of St Stephens Anglican Church.
