TRIAL BAY AND SOUTH WEST ROCKS

trial bay

TRIAL BAY WAS built in a later period than what I’m usually looking at. The connection with South West Rocks was earlier for my direct family. I do however have documents and images from Jan Maurice and Sanders’ were out there as Boatsmen and running a boarding house as well as one lad being remembered in the Memorial Pines. Killed in the war. So we took a drive out there on our recent 2 week Loop and took a look through the Boatsmen’s Houses which are carefully maintained and where,as usual, we encountered enthusiastic and helpful volunteers hanging on to our heritage with Tenacity. Below are some links to TRIAL BAY and some images from our exploration.

TRIAL BAY GAOL

Established in 1886, Trial Bay Gaol is the only example of a state prison specifically built to carry out public works. The intention was for prisoners to construct a breakwater in Trial Bay and create a safe harbour between Sydney and Brisbane.

KINCHELA

Posted by nellibell49 on September 8, 2008

HOME OF SANDERS AND CRAIGS

Seems to have been named after JOHN KINCHELA Esq – Appointed as Attorney-General of Colony of NSW in the 1830s. Or Judge Kinchela or another member of the salubrious family.

Almost all mention of the name KINCHELA up till the 1880 is of people with the name. Then in 1882 i came across the death of CHRISTOPHER GEORGE, younger brother of Frederick John.

In December of 1882 , 2 lots of land are listed for sale. http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article863558 In the PARISH of KINCHELA and town of GLADSTONE. Each of 2 acres,near J Verge – founder of AUSTRAL EDEN.
