Fact Sheet — Parklands
Fact Sheet — Parklands The parklands at Sydney Olympic Park provide 430 hectares of open space, recreation areas, wetlands and waterways for the people of Sydney located in the heart of the growing metropolitan Sydney. • One of Australia’s largest urban parklands, Sydney Olympic Park is a diverse and special place where protected remnant woodlands, rare saltmarshes, waterbird refuge and mangroves stand alongside places of heritage significance to create a unique parkland setting. • A lasting legacy of the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the parklands have been designed and built on land formerly used by government industries including the State Abattoirs, State Brickworks and Commonwealth Department of Defence, and are the result of remediating industrial land — an internationally recognised leading environmental remediation and urban renewal project. • Today, the parklands are playing an increasingly important role as both a local park and as a significant regional park destination as Sydney grows. The parklands are an association of many different parks and places brought together as a single entity for management purposes. • The suburb of Sydney Olympic Park covers an area of 640 hectares, of which 430 hectares are parklands. • There are now over 2.7 million visits to the parklands annually, representing 27.5 percent of Sydney Olympic Park total visitation. • The parklands include the leisure and play areas of Bicentennial Park, Wentworth Common and Blaxland Riverside Park; the sporting grounds at Wilson Park and Archery Park, and Monster and Mountain X facilities; the state heritage listed Newington Armory; the more natural areas of Newington Nature Reserve and Badu Mangroves; the Brickpit and 100 hectares of wetlands and waterways. -

7 the Sullivan Family
77 TTHHEE SSUULLLLIIVVAANN FFAAMMIILLYY PATRICK SULLIVAN Patrick Sullivan was born in 1808 in the townland of Lisdeen, situated about two miles from Kilkee on the Kilrush to Kilkee Road in County Clare, Ireland. His parents were James Sullivan and Mary Kennedy. It is thought that Patrick was probably the eldest son. He had one brother, John, who died in 1827 aged 16, and four younger siblings. His father was a small farmer who died sometime before 1834. Patrick’s father James Sullivan, and Partners, were listed in the Tithe Applotment Books of 1828 as holding (leasing) two acres of first quality land in Lisdeen. Nearby, John Sullivan also leased land – both first and second quality, totalling over two acres. It appears that James and John Sullivan split their father’s land upon his death - just over four acres, creating yet smaller holdings and further diminishing the amount of land available to support these poor families. The Sullivans would have been tenant farmers paying rent to Protestant landlords, some of whom were absentee owners. Potatoes were the main crop grown and turf cutting was another form of employment which helped support the families and was used to provide fuel for the winter months. Men, women and children took part in turf cutting. Cattle Fair Day at Kilkee, County Clare, Ireland. Image courtesy County Clare Library The Sullivans had relatives named McInerney living in the Lisdeen area although it is not known whether they were connected to the Sullivan or Kennedy side of the family. Land records around 1827-1828 show a number of Sullivans, McInerneys and Kennedys living on rateable land in townlands in the Kilfearagh Parish. -

Box 320 Granville NSW 2142 23rd August 2009 Redistribution Committee Australian Electoral Commission REDISTRIBUTION OF SEATS IN NSW 2009 The Granville Historical Society at their meeting on Saturday 22nd August 2009 resolved to submit the following comments on the proposed subdivision and naming of the seat in the Granville area. The Guidelines ofthe AEC are to name seats after deceasedAustralians who have rendered outstanding service to their country and that every effort should he made to retain the names ofthe original Federal Divisions. What concerns the Society that in one sweep ofthe pen the Redistribution Committee can wipe out the Heritage and History of one of the earliest established seats in our Nation. Our Society has been established since 1988 and in that time we have collected the history of our area, the districts surrounding it and also Australia. We collect Family as well as local history . • The seat named after Sir George Houston Reid was established in 1922 being 87 years old. The Electoral Office has been established in Granville for 40 years. The seat has been represented by many well known people who have done a lot for our country, for instance the Late Jack Lang was responsible for the widows, old age pension and many other things that we enjoy today. Tom Uren who served our country, was captured and made a prisoner of war. -

History Fact Sheet
Fact Sheet — History Sydney Olympic Park’s rich and colourful history, including the momentous Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games, has left a lasting legacy that can be witnessed in each pocket of this iconic location. A rolling hill tells of a time where the site was a wasteland in need of remediation; bunkers now used as classrooms were once lined with armament, an expansive pit now a feature of the parklands echoes a past where men once undertook back-breaking work to fulfil Sydney’s demand for bricks; and world-class venues were used to set records on a world-stage for the Olympic Games. Aboriginal history • Sydney Olympic Park is situated on the traditional lands of the Wann clan, known as the Wann-gal. The lands of the Wann-gal stretched along the southern shore of the Parramatta River between Cockle Bay (Cadi-gal land) and Rose Hill (Burramatta-gal land). • The estuarine ecosystems in the area provided the Aboriginal communities with food, clothing and other resources necessary to their lifestyle as well as a means of travelling throughout the region by water. • Physical evidence of the usage of the Homebush Bay area by Aboriginal people has been found in the form of stone artefacts located nearby. Aboriginal shell middens (campsites where shellfish and other foods were consumed) were known to have lined Homebush Bay and the Parramatta River but were destroyed in the limekilns in the eighteenth and nineteenth century and subsequent alterations to the shoreline. 1 European Settlement • When Europeans arrived in 1788, Homebush Bay consisted of extensive tidal wetlands and thick bush.
