Cheap parking spaces in Lane Cove for rent

Part of the Lower North Shore of Sydney, Lane Cove is located 9 kilometres north-west of the CBD. it was originally inhabited by the Cam-mer-ray-gal Group, a part of the Ku-ring-gai Aboriginal Tribe. It was one of the largest groups in the Sydney area and kept to the north shore of Port Jackson.

Soon after the First Fleet landed in Sydney, the first use of the name ‘Lane Cove’ was made. Lieutenant William Bradley was surveying the area and called the river which he was sailing into by this name. The name has a couple of people it could derive from. The first was Lieutenant Michael Lane, who was a respected cartographer who worked with Captain Cook in Canadian waters. The second person the suburb could be named after was John Lane, the son of the Lord Mayor of London at the time, who also happened to be a good friend of Governor Arthur Phillip.

Land grants were given to the privates and officers in New South Wales, however not many of them were settled. Instead, these plots of land were traded for others. The reason for this was that life in this area was hard, the soil wasn’t good for growing crops, the land was prone to bushfires and the area had very few roads and was heavily timbered. The latter ended up being a good thing due to the high demand for timber. Timber mills were set up and they sourced the timber needed to build houses and boats which were needed closer to the sea and rivers.

Additionally to the timber, grass was also grown in Lane Cove for animal fodder, and shells were brought to the land to be burned and made into lime to be used for building mortar. Manufacturing gradually became larger, with tanneries and soap and candle factories being set up later on.
