It was previously known officially as "Village of Couridjah".[2] At the {{CensusAU|2016}}, Couridjah had a population of 303.[1] History{{multiple image| align = left | direction = horizontal | image1 = Pumphouse Thirlmere Lakes NSW.jpg | width1 = {{#expr: (100 * 1024 / 683) round 0}} | alt1 = Stone pumphouse at Thirlmere Lakes | caption1 = | image2 = Standpipes_Couridjah_Station.jpg | width2 = {{#expr: (100 * 1024 / 804) round 0}} | alt2 = Standpipes at Couridjah | caption2 = | footer = Pumphouse and standpipes | footer_align = center }} The name "Couridjah" has been variously reported to mean, in a local Aboriginal language, anything from "The Place of the White Ants" to "The Home of the Medicine Man".[3] Couridjah was formerly a station on the Main Southern Railway. At the time of the line's construction, it was known as "Jones's Hut". That line was deviated in 1919 to a less steep alignment with easier grades, and the original line became the Picton-Mittagong Loop line. Thirlmere Lakes, to the west of the station, supplied water to the standpipes at Couridjah for replenishing steam locomotives, after their long haul up the steep grade from Picton.[4][5] The lakes were formerly known as the "Coridja Lagoons" and "Picton Lagoons".[6] The sandstone pump-house is still in existence adjacent to the Lakes. The standpipes, too, remain near the station, but have been disused since 1964. Heritage listingsCouridjah has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:
Couridjah todayThe platform and the small waiting room have been restored and are maintained by volunteers from the Rail Museum at Thirlmere, though none of the Heritage trains which still use sections of the Picton Loop line stops there. The station and platform were featured in a television advertisement for "Minties" lollies. The main premises of the Tharawal Local Aboriginal Land Council are located at Couridjah.[8] It is also the location of Picton Lakes Village, a settlement established in 1925 for sufferers of tuberculosis.[9] Couridjah has no shop, post office, or any other public building, nor any main street. It is chiefly a semi-rural residential area, among which are some small orchards and poultry farms.
