FRONT PAGE: THE BLUE TREE, THE AUSTRALIAN BOTANIC GARDEN, MOUNT ANNANJust because a tree is dead, it doesn’t mean that its useful life in the ecosystem is over. This tree has been dead for many years and yet is still a beautiful home to a host of interesting creepy crawlies, including termites and slaters that are natures great re-users. It’s also a favourite perching site for our birds of prey. They have a clear view of anything that may be moving in the grassland below and can swoop down, out of the blue, and snatch up insects, small mammals and reptiles. Macarthur

To find an amazing variety of experiences including adventure, heritage, nature,

arts and culture, farming and much more, look no further than the spectacular Macarthur region.

The townships of Camden and Campbelltown provide an array

of unique attractions perfect for a day trip, overnight stay or family holiday.

History

GLEDSWOOD HOMESTEADOriginally named “Buckingham” the property now “Gledswood” was a grant of 400 acres made to Gabriel Louis Marie Huon de Kerillian in 1810. He was at one time a tutor to John Macarthur’s sons.

History

26

Long before Captain Cook sailed into Botany Bay, Australia was populated by Aboriginal tribes. The tribes or language groups that populated the Macarthur area were the Dharawal, Dharug and Gundangurra tribes.

A short while after the European arrivals landed at Botany Bay, a number of cattle were lost, having strayed from their herdsman. They wandered South and found grazing land in an area that became known as the ‘Cowpastures’.

The region of Macarthur, as it is now referred to, is named after renowned pioneers, John and Elizabeth Macarthur, who were granted 5,000 acres in the Cowpastures area in 1805 to develop Australia’s merino wool empire. Macarthur named the estate ‘Camden Park’.

Since the beginning, Camden Park has been part of the core of Australian history. Governor Bligh’s resistance to allowing Macarthur to keep his land on the Cowpastures, and his contempt for the sheep industry, were factors that brought Macarthur actively into the rebellion against the Governor in 1808.

John Macarthur was exiled to England for eight years for his role in the rebellion; however his devoted wife, Elizabeth, and nephew continued his work. It was at Camden Park that all the prototype methods of sheep breeding, washing, shearing, sorting and press baling were first established in Australia. The Macarthurs went on to establish the Australian merino wool empire that became the world standard for more than a century and a half.

A Rich History

By the late 1830s, Camden Park had expanded, by grant and purchase, to more than 28,000 acres and was the greatest and most advanced mixed farm in NSW. The Macarthur family also established wheat growing and dairying in the region and planted Australia’s first commercial vineyard.

From these beginnings as the birthplace of the nation’s wealth, the region has grown and flourished. The township of Campbelltown was declared in 1820, and Camden followed in 1840. Today, Macarthur is a region rich in character and steeped in history, exuding its colourful and complex heritage at every turn.

These links with the history of colonial settlement are reflected in the large number of heritage-listed buildings which are still scattered throughout the region. From a relaxing walk down the towns’ main streets, to a guided tour through heritage mansions, the region will captivate you in the charm of yesteryear, as it reveals its rich array of historic sites. Renowned for its living heritage, Macarthur is also well known by historians and genealogists for its collection of pioneer cemeteries and famous graves.

Natural Areas

The Botanic Garden has an interesting mosaic of natural areas that have their own intrinsic value. These woodland and native grassland areas contribute to the landscape character and visitor experience of the Garden. These areas of remnant native vegetation are becoming increasingly rare in western Sydney as urban development continues, and the Garden is now important for species’ conservation and fauna habitat.

Wildlife

The Australian Botanic Garden has become an increasingly valuable ‘greenspace’ in a fast growing urban area. The size of the site, and interesting variety of landscapes, have made it an important fauna refuge. Well over 160 bird species have been seen in the Garden, and visitors can take advantage of the lakes, woodlands and grasslands to see this wide range of bird life. Native mammals such as the Wallaroo and Swamp Wallaby are commonly seen throughout the Garden in their natural woodland/grassland habitat.

Historical and Cultural Importance

The Georges River was an important focal point for Aboriginal life and culture in the southern Sydney region, offering both food, transport and dreamtime links. Several major language groups existed along the river: Eora to the east, Dharag to the west, north and north-east, Dharawal to the south and Gandangarra in the far south-west. The early 1800s saw European settlers migrating to the areas along the Georges River. Much of the catchment was cleared for farmlands and housing, however the banks stayed relatively untamed due to their rugged slopes. Development within the catchment has flourished since WWII. Today, the Georges River and surrounds are a highly significant landscape feature of the Sydney region and the Campbelltown environment. It is home to much of the biodiversity that can be found in the region, including an active koala colony, and provides immense scenic value to the area. The corridor also offers a number of recreational opportunities for local residents. This section outlines some of these recreational opportunities and where they can be undertaken.

Keith Longhurst ReserveGeorges River Rd, KentlynThe Keith Longhurst Reserve is a 76 hectare bushland reserve with significant scenic and cultural values.

The reserve’s extensive areas of bushland, proximity to the Georges River and connectivity with the Georges River Regional Open Space, means it provides a range of recreational opportunities. Council is currently in the process of upgrading existing tracks in the reserve that will provide a network of tracks for a range of difficulty levels when complete.

BELGENNY FARMJohn and Elizabeth Macarthur established convict-built Belgenny Farm on part of the original 5000 acres granted to the family by Lord Camden in 1805. Ranked among Australia’s great agricultural pioneers, the Macarthurs established Merino wool production, wheat growing, dairying, horticulture and grape growing. These enterprises became a model for Australia’s proud agricultural traditions.
