Supposedly the town from which Luke Daly came. Inverary is a little town of Argyllshire, Scotland.

(Formerly Swamp Street.) The site of previous mangrove swamps, this street was named to honour General Sir Ian Hamilton (British soldier) (1853-1947), who commanded the gallant assault of the landing at Gallipole in 1915.

“Homedale” or more likely “Homesdale” was the name of the home of Mr. J.J. Shipley’s house, which was built for him about 1899. It was in the Cabarita area and was demolished during the first quarter of the 20th century.

A street of the “Hillcrest Estate” which encompassed Ludgate, High, Fairview and Shackel Streets. Probable that “High Street” was named because of its location close to the crest of the estate.

Named to honour Alderman Greenlees, who was elected to Concord Council in 1925. He also was at sometime the editor of an erstwhile newspaper, the “Concord News”.

Difficult to ascertain exactly who was “honoured” by this naming. My suggestion is that it refers to Adam Lindsay Gordon, and his very fine Australian poetry. He lived 1833-1870. A bust to his memory was erected in Westminster Abbey on the 11th May, 1934.

To honour Henry, Duke of Gloucester (1900-1974), who was Governor-General of Australia (1945-1947).

Named after William Ewart Gladstone (1809-1898), a very prominent British Statesman who served as a member of the English Parliament from 1832 until 1895, with only a break of a year and a half.

Named to honour Sir George Gipps (1791-1847), Governor of New South Wales (1838-1846).

During WWI some streets were patriotically named to honour the war effort.

Named to honour Arthur Gale, a Councillor of Concord Municipal Council 1897-1901, and sometime Licensee of the “Mornington Hotel”, near to the Gas Works.
