About Uki
The name "Uki" comes from the Aboriginal word "yugoi," meaning "bandicoot" in the Ndunguwal language. Unlike many other villages, Uki was never officially proclaimed—it simply grew organically over time. By 1914, this thriving settlement already included a general store, school, church, Mechanics Institute, butter factory, bank, butchers, blacksmiths, hotel, post office, guest house, bakery, and sawmill.
As you explore today, keep your eyes peeled for our village ghost! And don't forget to play our "Uki Trivia Challenge" at the end —test your knowledge and see how much you can remember about our village's past.
Let's begin our adventure into Uki's fascinating history!
