History
Originally called Blackburn Cove honouring the Master of HM Armed Tender Supply. Since the area saw much activity by convicts cutting reeds as a source of roof thatching in the early days of the colony, the name became established as the 'Rushcutting Bay' from which the present name derives. The creek has two arms; that rising in present day Darlinghurst and the other, Glenmore Brook, rising in Woollahra and which passed through lower Paddington - the valley also carried the romantic name Lacro.

Hyde ParkHyde Park is the city's central open green space and it was named after the Hyde Park in London, however, its origins are somewhat different. Originally the Park was a racecourse and sporting ground playing host to all manners of competition. Today the only reminder of its early 19th century competitive heritage is the huge playable chess set that features on the western side of the Park.

The tranquil setting is popular among office workers who want some fresh air, a quick siesta or some time out from the concrete jungle. The central pathway through the park
is an impressive, tiled, fig lined road linking two of the parks other features, the Archibald Fountain and the War Memorial.

The War Memorial is a 1934 art deco tribute to the Anzac soldiers who fell in the first world war. The memorial stands 30 metres above the pool of remembrance and there is a photograph exhibition underneath the building.

Over the summer months the Park is a hive of activity,

Bondi Beach

Home to the one of the world’ oldest surf life saving clubs, this beautiful beach is the closest to the Sydney city centre (8kms).

History of Bondi

When first found by the early colonials, it was said to be not much more than a huge sand dune and even by 1830 it was still considered too far from the Sydney CBD.

Bathing was banned at Bondi till 1906 (since few people did much else in water prior to this) and the same year, the Bondi Surf Life Club was initiated.

During World War II, the beach at Bondi saw barbed wire and sentries and at one point was shelled by a Japanese submarine, 5 shells being fired. Damage was minimal, lucky, if your house was not the one hit.

The establishment of the annual City to Surf Run sees thousands of runners, many from overseas coming to participate, running from Sydney CBD all the way to the beach at Bondi.

Coogee Beach

History
The name 'Coogee' (pronounced as "could gee") seems to have been derived from an Aboriginal word which means "bad smell". This would be of course due to the decaying seaweed which is washed up onto the beach - even in these modern times.

The original track which brought people to the Coogee Beach area back in 1832 would have followed the basic route nowadays taken by Anzac Parade and Alison Road.

In July 1838, the village of Coogee was gazetted with many of the streets in the district named after sea creatures. Today "Dolphin St., Neptune St., and Bream St.", still remain whilst it is understood that Coogee Bay Road and Arcadia Streets were later renamed from their original "Whale St" and "Fish St".

As surf bathing became more popular, so did the area gain fame and in 1907 the Coogee Surf Lifesaving Club was formed.

In 1928 an amusement pier - similar to those found at many English beaches - was constructed. It commenced at the promenade and reached over 180 metres into the sea, however heavy seas took their toll and the structure was demolished in 1934.
