A timeline: Colonisation to conservation

This timeline weaves together some historic events to give you a greater understanding of the relics you'll see along this bushland tour of Bradleys Head.Pre EuropeanBooraghee ('boo-ruh-gee) is part of the traditional land of the Borogegal Clan of the Eora Nation. They speak Dharug and lived sustainably as custodians here for thousands of years.1770The first written record about Sydney Harbour was by Lieutenant James Cook in 1770 when sailing past northward from Kamay Botany Bay. He didn't enter the harbour, but named it Port Jackson after Sir George Jackson, a British naval administrator, friend and patron.1788Lieutenant William Bradley surveyed and mapped the harbour and recorded Bradley’s Point. (Stop 4) He was aboard the flagship Sirius, 1 of the fleet of 11 ships that arrived in Port Jackson on 26 January after leaving England in 1787 to found a penal colony with 1000 people.1789A smallpox epidemic killed around 50 to 70 per cent of the Aboriginal people living around Sydney Harbour and devastated clans across the state.1836Alexander Ferrier is granted land and built a stone house called ‘Athol’ in the bay on the western side of Bradleys Head (near Stop 2).1839Rivals of the British Empire with armed ships in the Pacific looked to secure new territories. Sydney was a potential target with wealth from gold fields and only a small population to defend it. In December, 2 armed American ships entered the harbour and anchored in Sydney Cove. In response, a commissioned report detailed the need for harbour fortifications, (including Bradleys Head and Fort Denison). The Crown acquired land for military use and convict labour excavated for fortification. The stone jetty and circular sandstone gun pit still stand at the end of Bradleys Head (Stop 4).1841The fortification of Fort Denison began, but was not completed due to lack of funds (seen from Stop 3).1855Construction resumed on Fort Denison for the next 2 years, due to fear of a Russian naval attack during the Crimean War (seen from Stop 3).1863Athol Gardens Family Hotel opened with dancing pavilions and picnic grounds (Stop 7). Elisabeth Clark was registered there as one of the few licensed female publicans in Sydney at the time.1870sBritish troops were withdrawn from the colony. Gun emplacements (batteries) were built around the harbour at Bradleys Head, Middle Head, Georges Head, South Head and Shark Point to increase defences (access from Stop 4).A stone column was installed near the Bradleys Head jetty to test the speed of ships (Stop 4).1876Improvements to the elevated headland batteries allowed larger, longer-range weapons to plunge mortar down onto enemy ships with little chance of retaliation (access from Stop 4).1889The harbour became increasingly congested with traffic. The passenger steamer Centennial was wrecked in Taylors Bay after colliding with the ferry Kanahooka (the bay near Stop 5). One crew member was lost.1890sThe growing population increasingly used the foreshores and headlands for recreation. The need for the military presence was questioned. A coal mine lease at Bradleys Head was cleared but didn't progress due to public protest (near Stop 3).1901The year of Australia's federation. Military reserves and quarantine stations were taken over by the Commonwealth and used to quarantine stock, with a right to mount guns if needed.1902The top of the hill at Bradleys head was quarried and reduced to the height of surrounding land.1905Bradleys Head light was built at the point (Stop 4). The lighthouse was made of ferro-concrete with an electric fog-signal bell.1906Sydney Ferries acquired the Athol Gardens property (around Stops 2 and 7).1909Commonwealth authorities handed back the military reserve at Bradleys Head to the state. The name Ashton Park is gazetted as a people's recreation ground (Stop 7).1916Taronga Zoo was opened and the jetty at Athol Bay (Stop 2) was used to transfer the animals. The original zoo was at Billy Goat Swamp, now Moore Park. Taronga is a Dharug word meaning ‘beautiful view’.1934HMAS Sydney (1912) tripod foremast was installed at Bradleys Head by the floating crane Titan (Stop 4).1942Overtaken by new technologies, Sydney's big guns and forts are considered unnecessary to maintain as part of the its defence strategy. The Royal Australian Navy patrol boats cornered and sunk 1 of 3 Japanese Imperial Army midget submarines in Taylors Bay using depth chargers (Stop 5).1964A bitumen road was built through Ashton Park.1975Ashton Park became part of Sydney Harbour National Park.2000Construction began on the amphitheatre and boardwalk track sections (Stop 4).TodayBradleys Head is enjoyed by visitors every day, with the military relics a reminder of the sacrifices made for peace. When you visit, take time to pay respect to Aboriginal people past and present and their deep-rooted association and connection to this land.
