The New Dog Park

Well, it is new to us.... Located on Doonside Road, Arndell Park, Bungarribee reserve has quite a history. Before European settlement the area was the traditional land of the Warrawarry people, later became a government farm using convict labor and becoming Bungarribee House farm estate. See http://www.itmcgowan.net/blacktown/heritages.php




Later during WWII part of the land was resumed as a Military Airfield and after the war in 1949, OTC (Overseas Telecommunications Commission), the successor to AWA's "Beam Wireless" service to over the site. Eventually submarine cable and satellite technology made shortwave radio obsolete and OTC left in 2001. Below is a map showing the historical sites at Bungarribee.

Today there is little evidence of the previous lives of Bungarribee.
