Foley's Bay

About

SuburbBobbin HeadTypeBayDetailsWhere Cockle Creek joins Cowan Creek at Bobbin Head. Could possibly be associated with John Foley, a wood cutter. There is also mention in the 1832 Australian Directory that 'the path from Pennant Hills reaches the sea and joins the coastal road at the farm of one Foley, a tenant of Mr Wentworth'. This almost certainly refers to David Foley who is listed in the 1828 census.
