History of Blacksmiths
More Blacksmiths Photos
From: "Lake Macquarie: Past and Present"
Name Origin:
The first name for Blacksmiths was Kahibah and plans for a village were drawn up by the Surveyor-General's Office in 1865 but nothing further was done. When the first Swansea bridge was commenced in 1877. Blacksmiths was known as the Depot but maps still showed the area as Kahibah until 1881. Local residents tell of a Blacksmiths Shop that used to be situated on the channel at the point where the original highway turned towards the bridge. They tell of old timers referring to "The Blacksmith" when giving directions to the area of the present Blacksmiths.
Early Land Grants:
It remained Crown Land (Kahibah Parish). As it was sometimes flooded by high tides and a big surf, a large amount of filling had to be carried outby the Council in 1947 before subdivision was practicable.
Early Subdivisions:
Crown Land subdivision in August 1948 after filling was completed for flood mitigation. This encompassed Lakeview Parade, Turea Street, Kuttul Street, Mitti Street and Ninag Street. This section is now known as Blacksmiths West. Another subdivision occurred in November 1961 and encompassed Amaroo, Ungala, Mallawa, Kalinda and Cudgee Streets as well as Awabakal Avenue.
Early Industries:
Blacksmiths was a depot during the building of the Swansea Bridge, begun in 1877. The building of the northern breakwater followed and later coal-loading staithes were installed on the Blacksmiths side of the Channel. From 1959 to 1969 Rutile & Zircon Mines (Newcastle) Ltd mined rutile on Nine Mile Beach. When the operation was completed the area was restored using marrum grass and wattles.
Early Transport:
By ship to the ports of Newcastle or Sydney or by road to Newcastle via Belmont and Charlestown, or by the ferry "Helen Taylor" (Captain Peterson) from Swansea to Cockle Creek.
First Post Office:
Opened 9 August 1937.
First School:
A Public School opened in January 1962.
Organisations:
Surf Life Saving Club (Swansea-Belmont) founded 1927.
Water Supply:
1937.
Sewerage:
1961.
History of Valentine
More Valentine Photos
From: "Lake Macquarie: Past and Present"
Name Origin:
Unknown.
Early Land Grants:
Portions 38A (of 122 acres) 39A (of 178 acres) and 40A (of 142 acres) (Kahibah Parish) belonged to Alexander Robert Minter and Edward Percy Simpson who were later the owners of Pacific Colliery at Teralba. All three portions were purchased on 16 June 1869. On the same date Thomas Crandace bought Portion 41 A (of 15 3 acres.
Early Subdivisions:
D.P. 10822: In 1916 Minter and Simpson's Portion 40A was subdivided by Henry F. Halloran as the "Valentine Estate", the first use of the name. This was the section between Tallawalla Road in the north, the waterfront to the west and Allambee Place and Werona Crescent to the south, containing what is today the shopping centre and school.
Early Settlers:
The Croudace family built a house on their Portion. Called "Leighinmohr", it was in the vicinity of the present-day Valentine Bowling Club and the trees in its garden may still be seen in the park on the waterfront off Valentine Crescent, a row of big old camphor laurels and a very old Norfolk Island pine.
Early Industries:
The Croudace Portion had a small coal mine. The Hartley Coal Co. leased land on the lake shored near the present Hartley Point, sank shafts, procured equipment, built a wharf and bought two schooners, named. West Hartley 1 and 2. During the 1860's the mine was producing and the schooners were carrying coal but shortly afterwards one of the schooners was wrecked at the Lake Heads. It had cost 800 pounds and the wreck was sold for just 50 pounds. The West Hartley No. 2 was also wrecked at the Lake Heads in the great "Cawarra" gale of July 1866, killing the captain. These losses caused the collapse of the Company and the mine was abandoned, the mineral lease reverting to the Crown.
The Green Hills Coal Works sank a shaft near the present Green Point but operations were soon discontinued. Before its closure, the Hartley mine had experimented with the production of kerosene from shale and also quicksilver, products which would not suffer the transport problems of coal. An attempt by Mr. Speer of Speers Point and the Hon. John Robertson to re-open the Hartley mine was unsuccessful.
Early Transport:
By dray tracks over the hills or by water. The materials for the first house in the subdivision were brought by "Fisho Jack" Richardson in his launch because there were no suitable roads. In 1945 the government bus service was extended as far as the Valentine turnoff and in 1948 it was extended into Valentine. In 1964 a bus service to Belmont was instituted.
First Post Office:
Open on 1 July 1947 as "Croudace Bay". It was renamed Valentine on I September 1949.
First School:
Public School opened in January 1958.
Town:
Thomas H. Halton Park at Croudace Bay was resumed by the Council in 1947 from the Croudace estate. It was named after Lake Macquarie's longest-serving Town Clerk who had been instrumental in obtaining the I-and. With the water front land went a large acreage to the east in the vicinity of Regal Way and Tingira Drive. The N. S.W. Government had to pass a special Act, the Local Government (Land acquisition) Amendment Act in 1951 to validate the resumption and subdivision.
Water Supply:
1948.
History of Marks Point

Early Land Grants:
Portion 29 (Kahibah Parish) of 33 acres granted to Henry Marks on 17/6/1876. Portion 68 of 39 acres granted to Henry Marks on 9/1/1882. Henry sold his land to his brother Charles in 1885.
Early Subdivisions:

Early Settlers:
Henry and Charles were brothers of Maurice Marks, an early settler in Belmont. Henry bought the land at the Point and he and Charles went into partnership in an orchard. In 1885 he sold this to Charles, who lived on at Marks Point until he died.
Early Industries:
The Marks brothers' orchard grew oranges and pineapples. In the 1920's there were still Chinese Market Gardens near the present Marks Point School. Charlie Hollis operated a slipway and marine business in Edith Street from 1954 to 1980, when it became Marks Point Marina.
Early Transport:
By water or by sandy dray tracks to Newcastle or Swansea.
First Point Office:

History of Floraville
More Floraville Photos
From: "Lake Macquarie: Past and Present"
Name Origin:
Flora is the Latin word for flower.
Early Land Grants:
Portion 45 (Kahibah Parish), 187 acres; Grant to Henry Marks, 25/9/1885.
Early Subdivisions:
D.P.1930, surveyed 25/9/1886. Including Evelyn, Harold, Holloway, Victoria, Elizabeth and Jordan Streets. Part of Portion 45. This appears to have been unsuccessful, as little building occurred until 80 years later.
First School:
Public School opened in October 1967.
History of Jewells
More Jewells Photos
From: "Lake Macquarie: Past and Present"
Name Origin:
The area owes its name to John Jewell who took hunting parties to the swamp after wildfowl between 1870 and 1890.
Aboriginal Occupation:
The Aboriginal name for a part of Jewells swamp was "Ngorrion-ba" or "ngorowimba", meaning where the emu breeds. An island in the swamp was used for initiation ceremonies. Middens, caves and grooves for sharpening axes have been found near the swamp, which would have provided a plentiful supply of food.
Early Days:
Jewells Swamp was well-known for waterfowl, kangaroos and emus. People travelled from Sydney and Newcastle via Belmont to shoot there. The hunting parties, led by John Jewell, would adopt a picnic atmosphere, with baskets of food and bottles of wine. The progress of the hunters into the swamp was signalled by hunting horns. Jewell owned a large tanning and leather factory in Newcastle.
Early Land Grants:
Portion 122 (Kahibah Parish) which was originally owned by the Redhead Coal Mining Co. Ltd, comprised 319 acres. Portion 123 was owned by the Redhead Coal Mining Co. Ltd, and comprised 320 acres.
Early Subdivisions:
D.P. 10262 showed a subdivision of part of Portions 2, 70, 73, 1 17, 118, 124 and 125: and Portions 3, 46, 12-2, 123 and 127. This subdivision into 13 (approximately 23 acre) blocks formed ' the streets now known as Fencott Drive, Harrison Avenue and parts of Wommara Avenue, and the Pacific Highway:
Ntaba Road runs through the centre of this subdivision. D.P. 10262 was declared on 15 May 1916. This first subdivision was formed near the swamp, probably to capitalize on the building of the railway which was already under construction. The subdivision does not appear to have been successful. In 1926 there was a subdivision along Wommara Avenue, part of which came within present-day Jewells.
Early Industries:
A rutile plant operated in the sandhills in the 1960's. There are a number of sand pits in the area.
Railway:
The line was extended from Dudley to Belmont in 1916. In 1917 a platform was erected at Jewells Swamp. This was renamed Jewells on 4 November 1923.
Early Transport:
In 1959 a concrete box gutter replaced the causeway over the swamp and improved access. In 1964 a bus service to Belmont was instituted.
First School:
Jewells Public School opened in January 1977.
Town:
Jewells Swamp and Jewells Beach were the site of an extensive commando training course during World War 11. The Army Camp stood on a site bounded today by Kallaroo Road and Wormnara Avenue. Jewellstown Shopping Plaza was completed in 1982 by D.F. McCloy Pty Ltd to the plans of Kevin Snell & Associates.

History of Belmont
More Belmont Photos
From: "Lake Macquarie: Past and Present"
Name Origin:
Belmont Farm was established in the early 1860's. The name possibly came from Belmont in the Shetland Islands, birth place of Thomas Williamson, the third settler of the district. Williamson had a guest house called "Belmont" which was the starting point of development.
Aboriginal Occupation:
Campsites have been identified around Belmont Lagoon where wild fowl were plentiful. Threlkeld chose Belmont for his mission because of the numbers of aborigines who gathered there and because of the abundance of food for them. In a return to the government in 1828 he reported that "Old Jacky's tribe" lived near the mission.
Early Land Grants:
On 29 January 1825 a grant of 10,000 acres was made to the London Missionary Society supporting Rev. L. Threlkeld and his Mission to the Lake Macquarie Aborigines. The mission closed in 1829 and the land reverted to the Crown.
In 1861 surveyor D.M. Maitland was instructed to survey the area from Belmont to Croudace Bay and divide it into portions in connection with the new Crown Lands' Alienation Act of 1861. All portions are in the Parish of Kahibah.
1862: Portion 32A: 187 acres, Maurice Marks: north of Maude St. and east of Gerald St. Named Marksville.
1863: Portion 31 A: 185 acres, Matthew Cobbin: east of Pacific Highway from Maude St, north nearly as far as Wommara Ave.
1866: Portion 60: Thomas Williamson and Robert Kirkaldy: from Maude St to Gen St. They built "Belmont House" as a guest house and later opened the Belmont Hotel. Williamson lived at Belmont while Kirkaldy was a Newcastle publican.
1870: John Anderson: Anderson's Hill: "Bellevue" guest house. Portion 33A, 181 acres, G.A. Lloyd (Threlkeld's son-in-law): Ross Street to Lewers Street area.
Early Subdivisions:
In 1868 a total of 40 acres of small lots was offered for sale at 6 pounds per acre in the Belmont locality. It is doubtful whether these blocks were all sold at the time.
In August 1871 pioneer timberman David Cumming offered portions of land for sale in the area.
The village of Belmont developed steadily during the mid-1870's. The main part of Williamson's estate was auctioned in 1909 and became the central business district. The earliest D.P.(9457) was declared on 26/6/1918 and encompassed Macquarie, Maude, and Gen Streets and was part of Portion 60. Lloyd's Portion 33 passed to the Bank of NSW, which sold it to Robert D. Lewers, Sydney Manager of the Bank of London. His intention was to mine, as some coal had been taken from a tunnel in a gully there in 1908 but when the railway reached Belmont in 1916, he decided to subdivide instead. The first auction was held in 1919 and two others followed, all being successful due to the lake views. This area was known as Lewers Estate for many years.
Early Settlers:
The first settlers were Rev. L.E. Threlkeld, his servants and family. In 1825 Threlkeld established the "Bahtabah" mission station. Its site is thought to have been near what is now Victoria St or Ada St, Belmont, or possibly at Lewers Estate at the north end of Belmont Bay. The mission moved to Toronto in 1829.
The following are the people listed at the mission in the 1828 Census:
Rev. L.E. Threlkeld: missionary
Charles Adams, bullock driver (convict)
Michael Barry, shepherd
Thomas Chester, cook (convict)
Michael Dwyer, carpenter (convict)
John McKar, ploughman (convict)
John Ryan (convict)
James Silk, stockman (convict)
Elizabeth Smith, housemaid (convict)
Maurice Marks (from Bristol in England) and Matthew Cobbin (from Elm in Cambridgeshire, England) settled in the district with their families in the early 1860's. Marks (1861), Cobbin (1863).
They were followed by two immigrant farmers from the Shetland Islands, Thomas Williamson (1864) and John Anderson (1864),
Early Industries:
Many acres of forest covered the hilly land near Belmont, and by 1871 a timber industry had developed. In 1872 a saw mill was opened close to the lake's edge near Cardiff Point. In 1873 a ship was being built at the saw mill. Between 1862 and 1870 three different companies began coal mining operations to the north of Belmont Bay near Cardiff Point, each failed after a short time. Belmont Colliery, also known as Northern No. 2, operated in a gully to the north of Lewers Estate behind the present hospital and Beltop Colliery was nearby. Belmont Colliery opened in 1925 and was bought by R.W. Miller in the 1960's. When the mine closed circa 1980 the washery was still used for several years. Roberston & Fletcher's "Shaggy" mine was on the waterfront east of Cardiff Point. It opened circa 1906 and coal was transported by water using the ships "White Bay" (later wrecked on Stockton Beach), "Warraneen", "Tuncurry" and "Seagull". The "Platypus" was a barge which was towed up Dora Creek to take slack coal to the Sanitarium factory. Shaggy caught fire and was closed in 1955. It was known as the Golden Egg for years as it kept working during the lockout of 1929 because it supplied the hospitals.
Belmont Extended was also on the waterfront between Shaggy and Cardiff Point.
Bryants was situated in the bush behind the Floraville road, past the gravel quarry and its site is still clearly visible.
Cornelius Moynahan began shipbuilding in 1868 with his brother Patrick near the present Yacht club slip. There were a number of farmers in the Belmont district during its early period. These farms included orchards, vineyards, bananas and dairy.
George Clouten commenced a fishing trade at Belmont in 1874. He supplied Newcastle and Sydney. David Cumming was a pioneer timber-man.
John Darling Colliery, owned by B.H.P., began operations in 1925. Northern Stoneware Pipe Pty Ltd opened their terracotta pipe plant in 1937 using clay from the Swansea area and closed in 1979.
Early Transport:
Initially boats were introduced on the lake for the purpose of transporting goods, mainly timber and coal. Later, passenger services were introduced. In 1869 there had been a bi-weekly passenger coach to Newcastle. In 1875 Belmont was the ferry terminus for people travelling from Cooranbong to Newcastle. In that year a daily passenger service operated from Belmont to Newcastle. By 1937 there was a government bus service to Newcastle. Belmont bus depot opened in 1953.
Railway:
The Railway was extended from Redhead to Belmont in 1916. It was opened to traffic on the 23 December 1916. The last passenger train to Belmont ran on 22 March 1971.
First Post Office:
Opened at Belmont on 1 September 1877, in premises owned by Thomas Williamson, who also held the appointment of postmaster until his death in 1880. Mail was brought twice weekly on horseback. Belmont North post office was opened 1 February 1951. Belmont South post office was opened 12 January 1959, and closed 29 November 1969.
First School:
A private school was opened at Thomas Williamson's premises in 1873. The children were taught by a governess named Mary Aspinall. The first Provisional School opened from February 1874, until it became a Public School in June 1880. Its first teacher was John Anderson, a pioneer farmer from the Shetland Islands. Belmont High acted as a Junior High from January 1953 until December 1955. It has had High School status since January 1956. Belmont North Public School opened September 1953.
Organisations:
Belmont Urban Area was proclaimed on 17 October 1930. Some form of local government came to Belmont in 1932 when the first meeting of the newly elected Belmont Urban Committee was held in the home of Mr. H.E. Richards. Mr. Richards was one of five men elected by the ratepayers of Belmont at the local government triennial elections held in December 1931. The others were Messrs Cullen, Heery, Austin and Abbott. Belmont Sailing Club was founded in 1920. Lake Macquarie Yacht Club was founded in 1929.
Population:
1884 estimated up to 120 persons; 1911 58 Homes and 237 persons; 1921 98 Homes and 475 persons; 1933 470 Homes and 1940 persons; 1947 1292 Homes and 4840 persons.
Town:
First Newspaper: "The Belmont Monthly" was published on 3 October 1925 by Eric W. Cobbin.

Jimmy Hendrix - Guitar Legend
From Wikipedia:
James Marshall Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix) (November 27, 1942 – September 18, 1970) was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter whose guitar playing was a considerable influence on rock music. After initial success in Europe, he achieved fame in the United States following his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival. Later, Hendrix headlined the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival.
Hendrix helped develop the technique of guitar feedback with overdriven amplifiers. He was influenced by blues artists such as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Albert King, and Elmore James, rhythm and blues and soul guitarists Curtis Mayfield, Steve Cropper, as well as by some modern jazz.
As a record producer, Hendrix also broke new ground in using the recording studio as an extension of his musical ideas. He was one of the first to experiment with stereophonic and phasing effects for rock recording.
