Cardiff Brewery History

Cardiff Brewery's logo pays tribute to the past with incorporating Cardiff’s history in each element including the Tickhole Tunnel and Winding Creek.

• Tickhole Tunnel
The heritage listed Tickhole Railway Tunnel, also known as the Kotara Railway Tunnel, is a diversion over Tickhole Creek. Still in operation today, beneath the Newcastle Inner City Bypass, the tunnel is located between Cardiff and Kotara stations. The original track opened in 1887 and formed part of the Great Northern Railway which connected Newcastle with Sydney.

• Winding Creek
Cardiff’s first railway station, known as Winding Creek, opened in 1888. The township on the fringe of Newcastle was then called Winding Creek, and later briefly known as Lymington, before it was eventually renamed Cardiff in February 1889. Winding Creek took its name from a creek which had its source in the Cardiff Valley near the Tickhole Railway Tunnel.

• Mr Peattie’s Place
Early Cardiff, or as it was then known - Winding Creek, was noted for its plentiful fruit orchards, and Mr Peattie was known for the citrus he farmed on his land which bordered the Great Northern Railway Line. His name carried on even after it was acquired in 1913 by the Walsh family who planted stone fruit, mainly peaches and plums.
