History
In 1866 Henry Jones, one of three sons of Richard "Bull" Jones, after whom Bullsbrook is named, married Mary Ann Gee of Woodloes near the Junction and founded Mount Hill on the Gingin Brook about three miles up from Woodloes. About 1900 a new house was built at Mount Hill. In 1922 Mount Hill was sold to the Troy family, who continued to farm it after Thomas Troy's death in 1937, aged 84 Mount Hill was sold to Ernest Lee Steere in 1960.
