History
Lurnea was originally home to the Cabrogal people who spoke the Darug language. Following British settlement of the area in the 1800s it was given the name Hillview which persisted until after World War I when the land was converted into a soldier settlement which provided the soldiers with enough room for a house and a small farm. It was renamed Lurnea which means “a resting place”. Lurnea Post Office opened on 15 February 1921. In the 1970s the area was redeveloped again into a residential suburb which this time became home to a number of veterans from the Vietnam War. (wikipedia)
