Werona-a place of rest
Werona - place of peace.
In 1969 a small group of Friends and like-minded people envisaged a place for those in need of refreshment and renewal. Kangaroo Valley Friends Properties Pty Ltd was formed and a property purchased in Kangaroo Valley. There are currently 131 shares in the property divided between Australia Yearly Meeting, several regional meetings, and a number of individuals.
