This was originally a quarry
and kiln, then a popular swimming spot in the early 1930s, and in later years became John August
Reserve. After the kiln and quarry closed down, the area was
known as Buckley's Paddock, subdivided c.1911.
The waterbody was
described at the time of subdivision as an ornamental lake.
I was there
on August 27 2018 for an exploration of the walking trails - a drain runs under
the park.
