  • Early Menangle
    EARLY MENANGLE As published in the “Voice of the North”, between August 1927 and July 1929 JUNE 12, 2021 PERSONAL USE Camden Area Family History Society (CAFHS) Preface Early Menangle is a collection of newspaper articles written by J.J. Moloney under the pseudonym J.J.M. and published by the Voice of the North newspaper monthly between August 10, 1927 and July 10, 1929. At some point after the publication of the last article, they were collated and printed as a book, a copy of which is held by Picton Family & Historical Society and published online at: http://www.pictonheritage.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/early-menangle.pdf Because of the large number of names, the text was taken from Trove, compiled and indexed. The names were then checked against the Camden Area Family History Society (CAFHS) database and where a distinction was required, dates of birth added. Any errors made during this process are those of the editor.

  • Draft Submission to the Growth Management

Our aim is to submit a paper outlining what we know to be key assets of the area between Menangle and Douglas Park bordered by the Nepean River to the East and West of the Hume Highway, also including lands North of Menangle Village. We have a high concentration of environmental, historical and cultural assets and our Vision has been developed to capitalize on these assets. We would like to point out that we are not experts in planning but have relied on previous planning documents, reports by the National Parks and Wildlife Association, Government Departments and local knowledge. We would also like to highlight the fact the Macarthur South Paper of 1991, whilst it can be said to be dated, is actually the most comprehensive study on this area to date, taking into consideration all facets of planning. More recent studies tend to be fairly broad in nature, lacking detail, focusing on only one or two pressing issues of the day. We believe that we are very fortunate as a community to live in such a beautiful and interesting area and are very keen for Wollondilly Council to understand the special lifestyle this landscape affords us.

Married Eliza Wills in 1818 and in 1825 settled on his estate near Picton, named Jarvisfield; and, in 1844 he subdivided part of his estate on the north of Stonequarry Creek, as the result he made possible the founding of the town of Picton (originally known as Stonequarry). He died and was buried in the family vault at Jarvisfield, in August 1852, survived by six sons and two daughters. Picture of Henry Colden Antill Araluen Place The name 'Araluen' meant 'water lily' or 'place of the water lilies' in the Aboriginal dialect of the Araluen area of NSW Armour Avenue Named after Robert William Armour born 1848 worked at the”Hermitage” The oaks in 1845.
