Kulnura (/kʌlˈnjʊərə/) is a rural suburb of the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. It is located north of Mangrove Mountain along the George Downes Drive. Kulnura is located within the Central Coast Council local government area.
Kulnura's name is an Aboriginal word meaning "in sight of the sea" or "up in the clouds",[2] it was named in 1914 by a meeting of the early pioneers Messrs Archibold, Collins, Gatley, Penn, Young, Williams and Gibson. Its population of approximately 600 people rely mostly on the town's fruit and cattle industries for income, however many commute to regional hubs such as Gosford and Wyong and other areas of the Central Coast. It is also home to the biggest water supply catchment area on the Central Coast, Mangrove Creek Dam which has a capacity of 190 000 ML.
