Pheasants Nest had the first ever recorded sightings by white settlers of koalas, lyrebirds and wombats. It was an ex-convict, John Wilson, who noted the three animals in his diary describing the lyrebird as a pheasant, hence the name Pheasants Nest and recorded the koala as being known to the Aboriginal people as Cullawine.
