| 説明 | Notes: "The kernel of the complex developed as the Queen Victoria Homes at Wentworth Falls is the fine country retreat built by a highly significant businessman Sir Kelso King and his first wife, around 1890. King's wide interests in investment, business and mining as well as music and the theatre, make him a figure of State significance over his long life. Although he did not retain his country retreat after the early death of his first wife, King's connection with the site, expressed in a fine house and distinguished plantings, is highly important, although often overlooked. The treatment of tuberculosis by exposure to a bracing mountain climate which was preferred in the later Victorian period and early twentieth century led to a group of prominent physicians such as Dr Sinclair and Sir Philip Sydney Jones establishing a series of sanatoria in the Blue Mountains. The Queen Victoria Home at Wentworth Falls was the first, followed by Bodington, also in Wentworth Falls and the R.T. Hall Home at Hazelbrook. The continuous use of the Kings Tableland premises for health care for 96 years and the importance of the buildings and grounds give the complex heritage significance at the State level."
