Bibbenluke has a rich history, the name actually means “The Big Lookout” a name used by the indigenous people who first lived in this region.  During European settlement the place was called Bibbenluke Station and had strong ties with Ben Boyd one of the famous entrepreneurs of the region.  Ben Boyd had a strong association with whaling and grazing cattle from Eden to the Monaro and his legacy lives on in Ben Boyd National Park, 1 hour away, and Boyd’s Tower near Greencape.
