Campbelltown
(including Airds, Leumeah, Menangle Park, Menangle, Kentlyn, Macquarie
Fields, Ingleburn, Minto)
Historic town now part of Sydney's southwestern
suburban sprawl
Although Campbelltown, 53 km south-west of the GPO, is
essentially a rather unattractive urban centre on the periphery of
Sydney's suburban sprawl, the bushland to the south and the older
buildings in town and around the district indicate that it was the
first district to be settled outside of Sydney and was, at one time,
dramatically different to the Campbelltown of today. The current
population of the city is about 150 000 and it is located 70 m above
sea-level.
Prior to colonisation the area was inhabited by the Tharawal
Aborigines. The first Europeans in the vicinity were an exploratory
party who noted a stray herd of cattle in 1795 by the Nepean River at a
time when there was very little livestock in the colony. This discovery
generated another expedition led by Governor Hunter that same year. He
called the area the Cow Pastures.
Francis Barallier investigated the district in 1802. Despite
the objections of the governor John Macarthur was granted 5000 acres on
the banks of the Nepean in 1805. When Governor Macquarie visited the
area in 1810, sentries were posted for fear of Aboriginal attack. He
chose the site of Liverpool and named the district around present-day
Campbelltown 'Airds' after the family estate of his wife Elizabeth (an
estate situated in the village of Appin in Scotland where Elizabeth was
born).
By the following year there were 107 settlers in the
district. Continuing expansion and development suggested the need for
centralised services and for a staging post to accommodate
through-traffic. Campbelltown became the central thoroughfare for those
headed on to the south-west grazing plains and south along the road
that went through Appin to the Illawarra. Hence Macquarie returned in
1820 marking out a townsite which he named after his wife, Elizabeth
Campbell.
A daily mail service was established from Sydney to
Campbelltown in 1826. That same year witnessed the murder that
generated the legend of Fisher's Ghost. An ex-convict named Frederick
Fisher settled on a farm on the western side of town after his pardon.
He disappeared in 1826. The following year another ex-convict named
George Worrall was arrested, tried and convicted of his murder. It is
said he confessed just before he was hanged.

The Fisher's Ghost Restaurant
|
Worrall was
either living on or near Fisher's farm (some accounts suggest they
lived in the same hut). He apparently claimed that Fisher had fled the
district and had left him in charge of the farm and property. Some
suggest Worrall claimed Fisher was fleeing to avoid prosecution for
forgery. Others assert that Fisher had in fact stabbed a man and that
he had given the power-of-attorney to Worrall as he expected a long
gaol term. One source claims that Fisher served six months and
disappeared soon after he returned and attempted to resume control of
his property. Some say Worrall then sold some of Fisher's property and
'generously' offered to clear a debt of Fisher's in return for the
deeds to the farm.
How Worrall was discovered is also a cause of
disagreement. It has been said that it was Worrall's activities
regarding Fisher's property that aroused curiosity. One story has it
that Worrall was then arrested but released due to lack of evidence.
Apparently two boys later found bloodstains, a tooth and some hair on
Worrall's fence. An Aboriginal tracker was employed and the battered
body was located in or near what has since been called Fisher's Creek,
at the southern end of town.
According to folklore a respectable local named John Farley
claimed to have seen Fisher's ghost sitting on a fencing rail when he
was returning home after a few drinks at a nearby inn. He apparently
said that the ghost pointed to the location of the body. Others stories
say the spectre merely sat on the fence and that this was the rail
whereon the scraps of Fisher were found. It has been claimed that this
'sighting' initiated the police search.
The first published account of the apparition did not emerge
until 1832. Fisher was buried somewhere within the Anglican cemetery at
the corner of Broughton and Howe Streets though his exact whereabouts
is unknown. The legend has become the focal point of an annual
celebration - the Festival of Fisher's Ghost, held each November.
Another infamous local was bushranger Mad Dog Morgan
who was born at Campbelltown in 1830, the son of convict parents.
A survey of the town was made in 1826 and it was laid out
over the next few years according to a plan by Robert Hoddle who later
laid out Melbourne. Buildings began to appear in 1827 but their
occupation did not go ahead until 1831. Wheat-growing and flour-milling
proved vital to the economy in the early days. The town's growth was
hampered by the lack of a reliable water supply. Consequently a
reservoir was built by a convict chain-gang in 1838-39. It operated
until 1888.
A migrant depot was established at Campbelltown by
Caroline Chisholm in 1841. That year the population was recorded as
being 446. A district council covering Campbelltown, Camden , Narellan
and Picton was set up in 1843 and the railway opened in 1858. In the
1860s when wheat production was wiped out by wheat rust and a drought.
The focus then shifted to dairying, stock-raising and orchards.
A post office was built in 1881 and the town became a
municipality in 1882, the year a tramway connected Camden and
Campbelltown. It operated until 1963 transporting silver ore from
Yerranderie and milk from the local dairy farms. A courthouse was
erected in 1888.
In the 1880s suburban development commenced.
Subdivisions occurred to the north at Minto, Ingleburn, Macquarie
Fields and Glenfield. Campbelltown became the first country town to
have piped water - supplied by the Upper Nepean scheme which commenced
in 1888.
In 1907 work was completed on Cataract Dam, the first of
the Upper Nepean Valley dams.
By 1911 the population had slowly climbed to 1429. After
World War II the population increased as workers were increasingly able
to afford their own homes. Campbelltown was early identified as a means
of accommodating these rising expectations. It was envisaged as a
satellite city of Sydney, providing housing, work and proximity for
those who had to commute. The population increased from 9690 in 1954 to
16 374 in 1961. After much decentralisation planning in the late 1960s
and early 1970s housing estates supplanted the remaining farmland and
Campbelltown experienced some of the fastest growth rates in
Australia's history. By 1986 there were 120 000 residents. It was
declared a city in 1968.
Things to see:
Quondong Visitors' Centre
Quite a number of historic buildings remain in the
town and surrounding district. There are walking and driving
heritage-tour pamphlets available and heritage coach tours are
organised twice yearly by the Quondong Visitors' Centre in Art Gallery
Rd at the southern end of town. To get there situate yourself at the
intersection of the Camden and Appin Roads, head south along the latter
and take the first right. This is Art Gallery Rd. Park your car at the
visitors' centre which is located in the old St Patrick's schoolhouse.
Erected in 1840 it was the first Catholic school in Australia to be
built from private subscription. The building was designed by Father
John Therry. An influential and historical figure Therry, along with a
colleague, was, in 1820, the first priest to be appointed to Australia.
The building has been thoughtfully renovated and now contains a replica
schoolroom and small historical display.
Campbelltown City Bicentennial Art
Gallery and Japanese Gardens
Across the road is the Campbelltown City Bicentennial
Art Gallery and Japanese Gardens. The gardens and tea house - based on
a 16th-century design - were set up by Campbelltown's sister city of
Koshigaya in Japan to mark the bicentenary. The landscaping is
exquisite and meticulous and there are a number of koi in the stream.
The gallery is open Tuesdays to Saturdays from 10.00 a.m. - 4.00 p.m.,
and 12.00 a.m. - 4.00 p.m.on Sundays.
Emily Cottage
Adjacent is a quaint and attractive old building
(c.1840) on the corner named Emily Cottage, a small stone house with a
dormer window and gabled roof thought to have originally operated as a
toll house.
Across Camden Rd is the southernmost end of Queen St and what
remains of Fisher's Ghost Creek, its historical qualities eradicated by
recent development of the water course.

The Old Coach House (now the
Women's Health Centre)
|
Historic Precinct
Opposite Big Rooster, at 320 Queen St, is the
Campbelltown Art and Craft Society. This building was licensed as the
Farrier's Arms Inn in 1843 and was owned by blacksmith Edward
Fitzgerald. Some sources claim the building was originally a grog shop
dating back to 1826. It is certain that it was in existence by 1840.
Next door is Kendall's Millhouse, now Fisher's Ghost
Restaurant. It was erected adjacent Campbelltown's first steam-driven
flour mill in 1844. Both were built by the uncle of noted 19th-century
poet Henry Kendall. The mill closed in the 1880s.
Virtually opposite is the Campbelltown Community Centre,
originally a produce store and bakery dating back to 1853.
Walk up Queen St to the mall. At number 315 is the old town
hall, located on the site of George Worrall's farm. The building was
constructed around the old Temperance Hall (built either in 1862 or
1882 depending on which source one accepts) which the newly-formed
municipal council bought, adding the facade and front offices in 1892,
the year they also took over the newly-built fire station next door,
now incorporated into the structure. These buildings are now used by
the Campbelltown Theatre Group.
The buildings from 284-298 form an 'historic precinct' within
the city mall.These two-storey colonial houses of brick or sandstone
make a major contribution to the streetscape. They all date from the
mid-19th century and all feature some fine work on the balustrades,
columns, windows and doors, though some are falling into disrepair.
That at 298 Queen St (c.1858) is said to have been a staging post for
Cobb and Co. 294 was Bursill's shop (c.1842); 292 was Legacy House
(c.1844); 288-90 is the Old Railway Hotel (c.1840), converted to a
music hall in the 1850s. 284-86 was McGuanne's Cottage (1850s).
At the end of the mall, at 282, is the former CBC Bank (early
1880s), now the Macarthur Advertiser. Just beyond it is the former post
office. Erected 1881-83 it was one of the first seven country post
offices.to be built. The mail was delivered by horseback twice daily.
Designed by James Barnet it is valued as a good example of a Victorian
Classical Revival country post office.
Further north at the intersection of Queen St and Railway St
is the courthouse. The central block, facing out to Queen St, was also
designed by Barnet and dates back to 1888.
Over the road from the courthouse is Mawson Park, once known
as 'the green', where cricket and other sports were played and where
the gallows and stocks associated with law and order formerly stood.
Civic Precinct
Just north of the courthouse, to your left, is the
civic precinct wherein lies the civic centre, the council chambers and
the library. There is a cast bronze mural inside which portrays the
history of the city in nine sections. The swan adjacent the mural is
the crest of Elizabeth Campbell's family. In the gardens is a sandstone
water trough erected in 1890. Opposite is an 1870s gas lamp donated by
the town of Campbelltown in Scotland in 1966.
St Peters Church
Return to Mawson Park which contains one of the many
milestones placed along the Liverpool-Campbelltown Rd in 1854. A plaque
at the eastern edge of the park marks the approximate spot where
Governor Macquarie stood when he declared the town in 1820. It is
situated next to St Peter's Church. Designed by Francis Lawless and
built between 1821 and 1823 it is the oldest building in Campbelltown.
The clock was installed in 1838 and other additions were made in the
1870s. Inspections can be arranged by phoning (02) 4625 1041. Next door
is the rectory, built in 1887. Now in need of some attention its
features include a bay window, cast-iron balustrades and an iron
colonnade added at a later date.
St Johns Roman Catholic Church
Also of significant historic interest is the old and
disused St John's Roman Catholic Church, considered the first Catholic
church built in Australia. It is situated on a hillside overlooking the
town. The rectory is on the corner of Cordeaux and Lindesay St. Turn
left into the latter and take the immediate right into Sturt St. At the
top of the hill turn left down George St. The entry gates to the
property are near the end of the street.
This Georgian church is made of stuccoed brick with stone
quoins. It was built between 1825 and 1841 under the direction of
Father John Therry. The mezzanine floor and wooden wall decorations
were added c.1886. The grounds are also attractive. If you wish to have
a look at the interior ring the presbytery on (02) 4625 8044.

The graves of James Ruse and
his wife
|
Graves of James
and Elizabeth Ruse and the Cemetery
The historic graves of James and Elizabeth Ruse are
located in the north-western corner of the church graveyard. However in
1994 descendants of the family removed the headstones due to the
extensive vandalism which was occurring in the cemetery and placed them
in the Stables Museum.
An unusual diamond-shaped headstone marks the grave of
Matthew Healey, a pioneer of the Goulburn district who built the
historic Riversdale Inn. Another occupant is Harry Manns, a member of
John Gilbert's bushranging gang who pulled off one of Australia's most
infamous robberies when they made off with 14 000 pounds worth of
material after holding up a gold escort at Eugowra Rocks near Forbes.
He was caught, tried and hanged in 1863. His body was displayed at a
local inn for a short time as an example to the citizenry. Its
whereabouts within the cemetery is unknown as such disreputable types
were buried in unmarked graves and the cemetery records have been destroyed.
Also in the cemetery are James Tyson, who owned 3.8
million ha, and James Waterworth, an early coachman who covered the
area between Cambelltown and Wollongong and who was held up by
highwaymen on several occasions.
Hurley Park
Return down Sturt St and take the first left into
Stewart St. On the corner of Stewart and Lithgow St is Hurley Park
where you will find the remains of the convict-built reservoir of 1838.
This was the first public water conservation scheme in Australia and
the last major convict-built structure. The site includes a large
cattle watering tank of fine ashlar masonry with a stone-paved access
ramp and spillway, as well as two deep silt traps, also of stone.
Allman St, which runs along the southern side of the park, is named
after the captain of the convict work-gang.
Historic Buildings in the Area
Turn into Lithgow St. After you cross Lindesay St, St
David's Church and manse (1882) is on your right, just past the school.
Built in the Gothic style with pointed arches and small obelisks on the
roof it has been renovated.
On the corner of Lithgow and Oxley Sts is a lovely
two-storey Victorian house with some well-established trees in the
yard. Built in the 1860s the balcony, verandah and supporting columns
are of especial note. Next door, at 26 Oxley St, is 'Caversham' which
has a brick cornice, a wide verandah and attractive wooden lattice
work. It dates from the 1830s with a facade added in the 1850s.
Return to Lithgow St and continue westwards. On your
right, at number 12, is 'Richmond Villa' (c.1840, though the separate
rubblestone kitchen is thought to date back to 1830). Although it has
been altered it is still a good representative of a principal building
type from the town's early days.
At number 8 is one of Campbelltown's most attractive,
but most incongruously situated buildings, 'Glenalvon' (c.1842) - a
well-preserved and sensitively renovated two-storey Georgian sandstone
townhouse built by publican Michael Byrne. Its highlights include a
stone-flagged verandah, Doric columns, carefully detailed stonework,
original cedar joinery and staircase, eight-panelled doors and the
marble and stone fireplaces. A valuable array of colonial furniture and
English items lend an air of elegance to the interior.
The Stables Museum
At the rear of the building (but visible from the
roadway) is a large well, a kitchen wing, a coach house and the large
sandstone Gothic stables building with elegant gables, which has been
converted into The Stables Museum, run by the local historical society.
It contains a number of heritage items including the headstones of
James and Elizabeth Ruse. James Ruse was a convict transportee on the
First Fleet who, after completing his sentence in 1789, had some
success as a subsistence farmer at a time when the colony was in
desperate need of such successes. Consequently Governor Phillip made
Australia's first ever land grant in 1792; that being Experiment Farm.
He began working as an overseer near Campbelltown in 1828 and died in
1837. Elizabeth was the first emancipated female convict in Australia.
The headstones were removed from the churchyard of St John's
Catholic Church in 1994 due to the vandalism of headstones occurring in
the graveyard. The museum is open on the first, third and fifth Sundays
of the month from 2.00 p.m. - 4.00 p.m., or by appointment, tel: (02)
4628 0469.
South of Campbelltown
If you wish to investigate the area to the south
start from Quondong, turn left into Camden Rd then take the first left
again into Kellicar Rd. Proceed through the next set of lights to the
top of the hill then turn left into Gilchrist Drive. Turn left at the
second roundabout into Englorie Park Drive. Head up the hill to
Parkholme Court, turn left and it is about 70 m to Englorie Park House
(c.1880), a large Victorian country house which was originally part of
a large farm property. Some outbuildings remain. The verandah which
links the house to the ballroom block has some attractive cast-iron
trim. It is currently being used as a child-care centre.

St Helen's Park, Appin Road
|
St Helen's Park
Return to the roundabout at the corner of Gilchrist
Drive and Therry Rd. Turn right into Therry Rd and proceed through the
next roundabout to the lights at the top of the hill and turn right
into Appin Rd. At the second set of traffic lights turn left into
Woodlands Rd then take the first right into St Helens Park Drive. To
your right, about 750 m along, is St Helen's' Park House, a truly
beautiful mansion with associated outbuildings. It was erected on land
granted to John Wild who called it 'Egypt Farm'. The house dates from
1887 and is made of Menangle stone. It is strongly symmetrical with
highly picturesque gables.
Denfield
Return to Appin Rd and
head south through the roundabout to the top of the hill. The second
house on the left (about 340 m from the roundabout) is 'Denfield'
(c.1837), an outstanding and well-maintained example of a traditional
farmhouse which was reputedly built by John Farley, the man who claimed
he saw Fisher's ghost. The walls are rendered and the kitchen detached
after the style of the period.
Mount Gilead
Mt Gilead is located west of the Appin Rd on a
parallel spur. Upon a land grant issued in 1812 are a group of stone
buildings situated about a windmill tower (now sail-less) which was
built in 1835. It is located at the crest of the ridge and can be seen
from the Appin Rd entrance, 6.5 km from the Quondong Centre.
Beulah
Further south is 'Beulah',
built by the Hume family (possibly Hamilton Hume's father). The 1824
Hume and Hovell expedition to Port Phillip left from a point nearby on
the Appin Rd which is marked by a monument erected in 1924 and made of
stone taken from Hamilton Hume's house. It can be found 9.3 km from the
Quondong Centre.
South-West of Campbelltown
Starting from the intersection of the Camden and
Appin Rds head along Camden Rd and again turn left into Kellicar Rd. At
its end turn right then take a left at the T-intersection into Menangle
Rd. 1 km south turn left into Glen Alpine Drive. Take the first right
into Heritage Way then the second right into Belltrees Close.
Glen Alpine
At number 12 you will find 'Glen Alpine', dating back
to 1890 or 1912, depending on your source. It has a fine pyramidal roof
and verandahs with turned wooden posts, fretwork brackets and a frieze
of spindles. The first 'Glen Alpine' was built in 1832 for Thomas
Reddall, the incumbent of St Peter's in Campbelltown. Later used as a
school it was demolished though some olive trees from the original
estate remain.
Campbelltown Steam and Machinery Museum
Return to Menangle Rd. 2 km south is, to your right,
the Campbelltown Steam and Machinery Museum which is open from 10.00
a.m. - 4.00 p.m. on the first Sunday of every month. They have a number
of old steam trains which run on some railway track established within
the grounds. Opposite is the Sugarloaf Horse Centre which offers trail
riding and lessons, tel: (02) 4625 9565.
Menangle Park
Continue south for just over 3 km to Menangle Park. On
the corner of Menangle Rd and Racecourse Ave (to the right) is the
former Horse and Jockey Inn. This sandstone brick structure was built
either in the 1840s or 1853 (depending on who you believe). It has a
particularly fine staircase. The stone building adjacent is thought to
date back to 1823.
Just past it, to the right, is 'The Pines', a colonial stone
house built in the Classical style (c.1870) with french doors. Next
door and associatedwith it is an Alpaca stud.
Menangle Rd continues across the Nepean River and south
becoming Picton Rd. Just on the northern side of the river is the
Nepean River Reserve. The railway bridge over the Nepean is the oldest
still in use today.
1 km south of the river Menangle Rd meets up with
Woodbridge Rd, which heads off to the right, and Station St, which
heads off to the left. At the junction is the Menangle Store (1904) and
on the hillside behind it is the imposing presence of St James's
Anglican Church.
Menangle is a lovely and quiet rural village of 570 people
full of attractive old timber buildings which developed to service the
operations of Camden Park Estate.
Take the left turn into Station St. Near the end of
the road take the right turn. After 1.9 km is a signpost to the left
indicating the driveway of the Gilbulla Memorial Conference Centre.
Follow the loop road around to the old Gilbulla homestead, built in
1904 for James Macarthur-Onslow. It is a large and handsome house with
extensive gardens and is used today by the Church of England.
Return to the Menangle Store. Turn left back into Menangle
Rd. At the top of the hill is St James's (1876). The nave was designed
by noted architect J. Horbury Hunt who built 'Camelot' at Kirkham (see
entry on Camden).
North of Campbelltown
Turn into Campbelltown Rd and proceed to the
second set of lights and turn right into Leumeah Rd then take the
immediate left into Hollylea Rd. At its end is Hollylea House, a
charming two-storey Victorian building with plenty of delicate iron
lacework, and a balcony with decorative cast-iron columns.
Further west is the Wat Pa Monastery, opened in 1988
as a retreat for buddhists. There is also a Thai pagoda, built in 1991.
Return to the intersection of Leumeah Rd and Campbelltown Rd
and turn right. Turn left into Raby Rd then take the first left after
the roundabout into Eschol Park Drive. At the top of the small hill is
Eschol Park House (c.1860 with additions c.1890). This substantial
two-storey house with stone quoins is now a restaurant. The property
was the site of vineyards which won a gold medal at the Paris Wine
Exhibition of 1885. There is a large stone wine cellar built into the
hillside south of the house. The latter was used as a detention centre
for German embassy staff during World War II. A Victorian fountain
stands in the garden.
Return to Campbelltown Rd and continue north. The
first left, at the turntable, is St Andrews Rd. 1.9 km along here, to
your right, is the driveway to Varro Ville which can be seen perched on
the top of the hill. This attractive and substantial house was built
c.1859 though there have been later additions. The outbuildings
probably date back to the 1820s. The house can be seen a little more
clearly if you continue a short distance along St Andrews Rd to the Mt
Carmel Retreat and look from this vantage point.
Varro Ville was a 1000-acre land grant issued by Governor
Macquarie in 1810 to Robert Townson, a friend of Joseph Banks. Governor
Macquarie and his wife visited the estate twice in 1810. The property
and buildings have been placed under a permanent conservation order.
Townson ran cattle and sheep and established an impressive
vineyard and orchard. Explorer Charles Sturt purchased it in 1837.
During the drought of 1838 he generously sank dams in every paddock to
ensure the water supply for his neighbours. It is said his generosity
was even recognised by then-bushranger Jack Donohoe who declared the
Sturt family off-bounds. In 1839 Varro Ville was purchased by the first
postmaster-general James Raymond who bred and trained racehorses.
Scenic Hills Riding Ranch is located a little
further north along Campbelltown Rd, tel: (02) 9605 7410. It is
situated on a part of the Varro Ville estate.
Continue north to Denham Court Rd. On the corner, to the
right, is the Denham Court Homestead belonging to a Captain Brooks, the
former master of convict transport ships. It has been described as "one
of the most interesting and historically significant early country
houses in NSW". The house was designed by John Verge in 1832 though the
buildings to the rear may predate Brooks' possession of the property in
1820. There is an attractive portico and entrance hall.
If you turn into Denham Court Rd then take the first right
into Church Rd you will find St Mary the Virgin Chapel (1838), built as
a memorial to Captain Richard Brooks and designed by John Verge. It is
a rare surviving example of an early Regency Gothic Revival church in a
pleasant rural setting with an historic graveyard.
Return to Campbelltown Rd. 6 km north of Denham
Court Rd Campbelltown Rd and Camden Valley Rd intersect to form the
Hume Highway. Turn right at the next set of lights into Leacocks Lane.
900 m from the highway you can see, to your left, the Glenfield
farmhouse and barn, built by Dr Charles Throsby in 1817 on land he was
granted in 1810. The house is named after his English birthplace.
