  • Dating the Suburbs of Fairfield
    DATING THE SUBURBS OF FAIRFIELD WAKELEY A relatively new suburb, Wakeley was officially established in 1979.1 The area had previously been sparse farmland and was part of an extensive suburban development project which began in the late 1970s. The area was named after the Wakeley family, who had a historical presence in the area. It was especially inspired by Daniel Wakeley, a young man who arrived in Australia in 1870. He fought during World War II, and his name can be found on the Embarkation and Honour roll at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra. Australian War Memorial, First World War Embarkation Roll: Daniel Wakeley, https://www.awm.gov.au/images/collection/items/ACCNUM_LARGE/RCDIG1067712/RCDIG 1067712--175-.JPG “Pioneer Looks Back On Wakeley,” Fairfield Advance, November 25, 1981, 14. 1 Municipality of Fairfield Council Minutes, Wednesday 6th June, 1979. 1 BONNYRIGG Bonnyrigg was officially established as a suburb in 1979.2 The newly released area was the site of an extensive housing commission development in response to growing immigrant populations. Commercial enterprise and housing rapidly advanced in the 1980s. Soon after it’s establishment, a shopping centre was built and local community organisations prospered. However, the name Bonnyrigg originates from the early nineteenth century, when the area’s beautiful undulating hills caught the eye of settlers. The name has Scottish origins: “bonny” meaning pretty and “rigg” meaning ‘land elevation’.3 Bonnyrigg was a part of an Orphan School grant, which was given by Governor King in 1803 to support much needed orphan initiatives. The area eventually became the site of the Male Orphan School, which ran from 1821 to 1835.4 The original Male Orphan School homestead, built in 1826, still stands today, although it has now blended in with residential surroundings.5 “Bonnyrigg: It’s All go in New Suburb”, Fairfield Advance February 25 1981, p.
