    lllawarra Historical Society Inc. November 102 THE STORY OF PUCK.EY'S ESTATE In 1953 the City of Greater Wollongong council resumed for a public park the land described below. (See N.S. W. Govt. Gazette 2 April 1953 for a more detailed description). The conveyance from the Union Trustee Co. of Australia Ltd., executor of the will of Courtenay Puckey (died 27 Sept. 1944) to the City of G.W. Council is dated 24 Feb. 1955. (1) 40 acres 2 roods, part of 200 acres (Portion 103, Parish of Woonona) originally granted to William Wilson 6 June 1836. It was leased by C.

(Conveyance 6 April 1904 gives area of land as 3 acres 2 roods 18 perches, but boundaries appear to be the same as those given for (2) in the Govt Gazette 2 April 1953.

We aim to include everything available on "Puckey's in forthcoming Bulletins") The Discovery and Growth or Greater Wollongong (continued from last Bulletin) PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS The City of Greater Wollongong is probably more fortunate than most cities in the amount of park space provided.

  • WOLLONGONG ART GALLERY 26 JUNE - 1 NOVEMBER 2015 Months the Phrase ‘All Roads Lead to Rome’ Was One That Often Came to Mind
    The Road to Wollongong The Road to FOREWORD The Road to Wollongong examines the landscape of the Illawarra via a number of diverse historical Wollongong and contemporary artworks. These works take us down the important paths and tracks, low roads and Curated by Joseph Davis and Ione Davis highways that connect the people and places of this region. When thinking about this show over the past several WOLLONGONG ART GALLERY 26 JUNE - 1 NOVEMBER 2015 months the phrase ‘all roads lead to Rome’ was one that often came to mind. This proverb suggests that different paths can lead one to the same place and, although not necessarily referring to physical paths, it does resonate strongly with this exhibition – as all roads in this exhibition lead to Wollongong, the metaphorical ‘Rome’. The Illawarra with its magnificent escarpment and pristine sweeping coastline has attracted many artists since the first European settlements in this area in the early 1800s. This exhibition includes some well-known and lesser known images of this area and provides some new perspectives of Wollongong and Illawarra. The Road to Wollongong is part of the Gallery’s Visiting Curator Program which brings new and interesting perspectives to our exhibition program. Wollongong Art Gallery would like to thank the curators Joe and Ione Davis for their passion and insights while developing this project and we hope that you will be both engaged and surprised by this exhibition John Monteleone Program Director Geoffrey Northover, Looking south west towards Unanderra, c. 1940’s, print of scanned original negative.
