A brief history
he first European to see and name features of the district was Captain James Cook on 7 May 1770, the day after he sailed from Botany Bay when his wrote in his log that he saw “ Some pretty high land which projected out in three bluff points and occasioned my calling it Cape Three Points.” His name is still used today, but the original occupants of the land called them
· Bulbararing - A high rocky headland · Mourawaring - A view from high up · Bombi - Water swirling about rocks And they called our beach Tudibaring – Where waves pound like a beating heart. The bay was called "Allagai" - place of snakes (but don't let that put you off - it's a great place to live or visit - we see more whales than we do snakes) The first European settlers to this land were Scots, Robert and Peter Campbell in 1824. In 1855, another Scot, Allan MacMaster arrived with his wife and 10 children from Scotland and acquired 600 acres of land near the lagoon and the beach. He called his land “Corribeg”, after his Scottish home. The Park where the Progress Hall is located is named after their farm. | ||
