Ray White welcomes new Simon Hayes as the new principal in the wonderful Blue Mountains location of Woodford.

Woodford, with an elevation of 609 meters above sea level is a small village located in the magnificent Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia approximately 90 kilometers west of Sydney.

The village, originally known as Twenty Mile Hollow, is situated on the Great Western Highway and has a railway station (opened in 1868 as Buss's Platform) on the Main Western railway line
.
In the 1830s an inn called The Woodman was built there. Ten years later the inn became known as the King's Arms, later popularly known as Buss's Inn after 1855.

Sydney businessman Alfred Fairfax converted the building into a private home some time later and renamed it Woodford House. The railway station adopted the name Woodford in 1871. Woodford House later became Woodford Academy, a private boys' school and is now a heritage-listed building.

Woodford is well known to mountain bike riders and walkers as the start point for the renowned Oaks and St Helena tracks. It is also the finish point for Andersons and Ingar fire trails, also popular with mountain bike riders and walkers.
