South Maroota is a suburb in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia 72 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of The Hills Shire. The Hawkesbury River forms part of its western boundary. South Maroota contains the Pacific Park motocross and water-skiing park, on the bank of the Hawkesbury River. The first attempt to settle Maroota, as a soldier-settlement, failed totally. Some of the soldiers leaving the Army during an across-the-Empire downsizing in the wake of the Napoleonic wars bought land (sight-unseen) at Maroota, hoping to begin new lives as farmers. However, all of them as soon as they visited their new purchases were shocked and disappointed with what they found. They protested to the government that such barren sandy soil could never support them and their families, asking for replacement land to be granted to them elsewhere. What these early men did not know was that at but a short depth below surface the Maroota Sand was rich in groundwater. Later on, the land proved quite good and profitable for a variety of farming and orchard growing applications, and for limited grazing, once its true values and potential were realised.

A Weaver’s Post Office was open by 1 January 1927. In 1956 its name was changed to Maroota, and it was closed in 1969. In recent years Maroota has undergone transformation, becoming a growing centre of sand mining. As Sydney’s major sand and gravel quarrying centre, at Castlereagh just north of Penrith, nears the end of its life Maroota becomes increasingly important for supplying sand to many users in the metropolis.

In 1970 Sydney’s largest naturist club, Kiata Country Club, was established at South Maroota. South Maroota is located approximately 65 kilometres northwest of the Sydney CBD in the Shire of Baulkham Hills. The original inhabitants of the South Maroota area were the Darug people. The Darug were the custodians of the majority of what is now the Greater Sydney region. They were divided into a number of different ‘clans’, whose quick demise upon European settlement has sadly resulted in very little information remaining on how the local area was utilised.

The first European settler in the South Maroota area was Charles Williams, one of the first convicts to be released and granted land in the late 1700’s. In a tragic story, his wife and son died in a boating accident on the Hawkesbury River, leaving him depressed and unable to maintain his once profitable farm. As a consequence he was left in destitution. Towns surrounding South Maroota include: Cattai and Maroota.
