The Pub on the Point: A History of a Hotel at Sandringham
1 Rationale
This work was started in early 2013, as a following on from the interest in my local
area and the research methods I had experienced during my research for my entry in
the 2012 Ron Rathbone History Prize. A life-long interest and study in history
allowed me to undertake my first degree from Charles Sturt University in the eighties
majoring in Library Science and History. This love of historical fact has allowed me to
experience many wonderful times and places, both in my reading and my travels.
My decision to enter the 2013 competition was one I looked forward to almost
immediately after the 2012 awards ceremony. The topic of the hotel at Sandringham
was decided upon by two factors; that it had been a place of fun and friendship for
both me and my parents, and that there was only a limited amount of information
around on the history of the hotel and the publicans who had run it over the time.
Everyone I spoke to had fond memories of a great venue over the years and my
interest was piqued! Imagine my surprise as research began to illustrate a long line
of men who had found the hotel to be both their home and their business, going back
to the beginning of European settlement in the area.
This is the result….a combination of months of research, surveys and oral
histories…..the story of the hotel and the men who ran it for over a hundred and forty
eight years….their fortunes and misfortunes….the people….and…..The Pub on the
Point!
This research is dedicated to my husband Scott, who shares my love of history and
supports me always in all my writing.
2 Background
Sandringham Point has been a place of recreation for locals since just after the very
beginning of European settlement. However, for centuries previous the areas natural
land formation, originally comprised of sand dunes and wetlands, would have been
full of mangroves where oysters grew naturally and were collected as food by the
local Aboriginal tribes. A history of fishing at the site also precedes European
colonization as fish abounded in the Bay, that the locals called Ka-may (1), and the
Cadigal people found plenty of food in the area. So the development of the site as a
spot of outdoor pursuits and local food is not surprising considering the history.
On 29 April 1770, Botany Bay was where Captain James Cook’s first landed on
Australian soil after navigating around New Zealand. The foreshore would have been
vastly different to what you would find there today with large drifting sand dunes and
mangrove swamp land. The British later found the sandy soil not suitable for farming
when they were looking for a site for the First Fleet to beach and headed up the
coast to Port Jackson in 1788. In 1789, Captain John Hunter surveyed Botany Bay
on his return from the Cape of Good Hope after trading for grain. His cartography
showed the good supply of fresh water in the area which led to the expansion of the
region’s population in the 19th century. (2)

13700&acmsid=0 The site also has a history of violence of men towards each other, going back to the
spearing of a convict named John McEntire after he had been cruel to the local
people and trespassing on their land and killing their food source animals. 'This man',
wrote Judge Advocate David Collins 'had been suspected of having wantonly killed
or wounded several of the natives in the course of his excursions after game.'(3)
McEntire admitted shooting one Aboriginal man in his travels around the area in a
deathbed confession. The famous Bennelong had long feared and hated McEntire
and saw him as one of Governor Phillip’s “chief avatars of malice.” (4)
The bad blood between the gamekeeper and the local inhabitants came to a head on
Friday 10 December 1790, when McEntire was speared by Pemelwuy and died of
his wounds on 20 January 1791. The military were called out under the control of
Watkin Tench to hunt down the Aboriginal people and take reprisal for McEntire’s
4 death. Tench and his men returned to Sydney after some of the troops nearly
drowned in the muddy creek that lead out to a long beach. So, the history of the
relationship between the police and the locals at Sandringham Point has its origins
as far back as 1791.
The development of the area was hampered due to the lack of access by land from
the settlement of Sydney town. It wasn’t until a route via the new South Road (Old
Illawarra Road) crossed the Cook’s River and this area was cleared, was it settled
and this opened up the south east of Sydney. The first to live in the area were the
timber getters, wood gatherers, bark collectors, sawyers and charcoal burners who
camped in the bush. These men worked in the forests of the wealthy landowner
Simeon Lord, who was a prominent emancipist trader in Sydney, whose main trade
was to buy and sell ship cargoes. He was eventually made a magistrate despite his
convict beginnings in the colony. Lord became a large landholder during his lifetime,
of both land he purchased himself, and of land grants from Governor Lachlan
Macquarie, and his extensive land holdings included land at Petersham, Botany Bay
and Tasmania. Lord died in early 1840 at his family home “Banks House” at Botany,
leaving a vast property portfolio behind.
Once the timber was felled, it was either sent off to be lumber for the settlement for
building, or for boat building and use as shipping ballast and the remains were burnt
off to create charcoal for heating and cooking. Vessels such as the “Whale” (1813)
sailed between Sydney and Botany Bay carrying timber to the town. (5)
5 Therefore, as mentioned earlier, in 1839 an alternate means of access to the
southern areas of Botany Bay was established, by the construction of a carriageway
over the dam at Cook’s River. Convict labour allowed this road to be built, with the
men even working in chain gangs. Then in 1844, Rocky Point Road construction
started, from the dam face at Cook’s River to Rocky Point on the George’s River.
Prior to this most access was by boat to Seven Mile Beach and it took timber getting
and the timber men to cut a path through the forest growth. When pioneers were
granted land in this area, it was found to be scrubby, swampy and sandy. This
limited the land use to pig and poultry farming and associated industries. (6) Rocky
Point Road was a toll road and the tolls of up to a sixpence were charged by the
Rocky Point Road Trust.
The abundance of shells on the nearby beach meant the establishment of limeburning facilities. The middens would have been used by the colonists for lime for
their mortar and collecting of the shells would have first been by convicts, standing
up to their knees in the mud of the foreshore. Fishing in the area was very good in
the relatively sheltered bay; good fishing which continues to the present day. Oyster
gathering continued, now by the English, as well as the local Aborigines and the
effect of this overharvesting was soon to be felt. Eventually, small settlements soon
developed close to the supposedly bountiful beach.
Various landowners established their properties in this area in the early 1800’s.
Catherine Cooper was given a 100-acre grant in the area in 1830 at Charlotte Point,
later Rocky Point, where she and her merchant husband, Robert Cooper Junior, built
6 a home. The husband and wife team later operated a distillery there, as Robert
Cooper’s father had a large distillery that fronted Parramatta Road, Chippendale. (7)
Charlotte Point was where the Georges River ran into Botany Bay and Catherine
Cooper had named the area after her mother Charlotte Rutter. Later in 1874, Robert
Cooper inherited 100 acres and house at Rocky Point – Sans Souci, from Thomas
Chapman. Cecilia (Robert’s sister) also inherited some land and money from
Chapman who was their step-father. (8) Charlotte died 19th May 1850 and her
husband was listed as Mr Thomas Chapman, of Rocky Point, George's River. (9)
The Holt Years
In the mid 1800’s, Thomas Holt took up land on the Rocky Point end of the peninsula.
The area became known as Sans Souci, taking the name from his grand house built
on Rocky Point Road on land bought in 1853, for his German wife, Sophie. It was
named after Sans Souci in Potsdam, Germany, the summer palace of Frederick,
King of Prussia.(10)
It was Holt who gave the name Lady Robinson Beach to the area between Cooks
River and the Georges River, which had previously been known as Seven Mile
Beach. He was interested in developing his commercial interests and invited Sir
Hercules Robinson and his wife to inspect his land in 1874. In a magnanimous
gesture, impressing all present, Holt named the beach after the Governor’s wife. At
7 the annual merchant’s dinner on the 28th July, there was also a toast proposed to,
"Lady Robinson, and the ladies of the colony." (11)
Holt had extended his property portfolio by selling some of his gold runs after the
gold rush and in August 1861 he paid ₤3275 for 4600 acres of land and waterways
south of Sydney, extending from Botany Bay to Port Hacking. (12) Amongst this, was
most of the Kurnell Peninsula, and his acquisitions included James Cook’s landing
place where he erected an obelisk in 1870, celebrating the centenary year. He also
tried to raise sheep on pastures sown with imported grass and then cattle, scientific
oyster-farming,
timber-getting
and
coal-mining,
each
without
success.
He
campaigned for the damming of George's River to supply Sydney with water but the
government rejected his scheme. In total, Thomas Holt built six mansions to the
south of Sydney. He continued to buy adjoining land and by 1862 owned 13000
acres; ¾ of the now Sutherland Shire.
The new oyster industry had been a thorn in Holt’s side. The collection of oysters by
both the settlers and Aborigines had eventually become so common that foreshore
oysters became rare, and in the 1860's dredging for deep water oysters began. Holt
made the first attempt to grow oysters commercially in the early 1870’s. As he owned
Gwaley Bay, he had a system of channels dug, with the flow of water being
regulated by dams and flood gates. The system, known as “claires”, had been seen
by Holt in France, however sadly for him it was a failure in the George’s River, due to
water temperature and silt build up. Eventually, by the 1870’s the river had been
8 denuded of oysters and the Government closed it to the oyster gathers for several
years.
What had been Holt’s failure ended up being another hoteliers success, when Albert
Emerson took up the leases when oyster farming was recommenced. Emerson was
the proprietor of the Sea Breeze Hotel at Tom Ugly’s and had his oyster base at
O’Çonnells Bay (now Connells Point). He had applied for and been granted a license
in 1878 for a public house at Georges River.(13) His men gathered oysters from the
foreshores as well as deep water gathering. By 1876 he had between twenty and
thirty men in his employ, including some South Sea Islanders, who were experienced
pearl divers. (14)

9 In 1888, Emerson went on to create an oyster dynasty after he built a boat shed on
the waterfront at Sandringham, near the baths (15), using his innovative oyster
farming techniques. Left: Thomas

At the time, Holt utilised to his financial advantage, the convicts, runaway sailors and
the local Aborigines as the workforce on his estates. He employed a William Rowley,
who was a Gweagal-Dharawal man who had been born in 1831 at Pelican Point
(Towra Point), near Weeney Bay, where the Georges River met Botany Bay, as his
foreman.(16) Rowley was an adept fisherman who rowed back and forth across the
Bay and knew every inlet and river of the area.

11 As stated earlier, some Aboriginal people lived and worked on Holt’s estate between
the 1860s and 1870s. However, by the end of the nineteenth century, most had
moved away, some to the government reserve at La Perouse on the north shore of
Botany Bay and others to a “camp” at Saltpan Creek on the Georges River. Many of
their descendants still live in the area around Botany Bay today.
There were many events held at the land holding over the period that Holt controlled
the property, with picnics, boating and sporting events. He lavishly entertained his
friends and visitors, including royalty, with picnics and shoots and wined and dined
the influential of Sydney. The area was further opened up in 1863 with the first ferry
service at Tom Ugly's Point. (17)
However, Holt and his wife found the area too isolated, as access was mainly by
boat from Sydney, so he built another house at Marrickville, overlooking the Cooks
River, which he called The Warren. He bred rabbits for hunting and kept exotic
animals, including an alpaca on this property. In the 1860s, Holt sold his Sans Souci
property in 1866 to William Rust, who turned it into a popular hotel, despite its
isolation, which was the beginning of the hotel in the area (18). However, Holt still
made use of the area for his political and entertainment events. In 1870 he hosted a
large gathering to help garner support for one of ideas. (19)
GEORGE'S RIVER - PICNIC.
Two hundred and fifty or three hundred gentlemen on Saturday last spent a very pleasant day
on George's River. They were the guests of the Hon. Thomas Holt, of the Warren. The
company consisted of members of both Houses of Parliament, gentlemen representing
mercantile and monetary institutions, professional men, civic dignitaries, and others who
regard the water question as of more than ordinary importance. They arrived at Sans Souci
between ten and half past and after a dejeuner a la fourchette, (a light luncheon) went on
board the Pelican, which had been brought from Sydney. The steamer left Sans Souci, or
12 Rocky Point, about eleven. To most of those present the scenery was entirely new, and it may
be said that they have added considerably to their geographical knowledge. It is superfluous
to say that the trip was pleasant. Everybody enjoyed it, and many expressed surprise at the
capacity of the river, and the great width of some of the creeks and reaches. The principal
bays in the river are known as Double Bay, Oyster Bay, Gwawley Bay, Woolooware Bay, and
Townsend's Bay. The points on the river where dams may be constructed and weirs made on
the solid rock of course attracted special attention. The topic of conversation was water, the
best source of supply, and the comparative merits of rival schemes…
…On returning to Sans Souci, a number of the party went ashore, and the remainder took a
trip into Botany Bay. The steamer Pelican will remain for a week in the bay. She will leave the
Botany Waterworks at 10 o'clock on Wednesday, and Saturday next, and return to Botany
before evening on each of those days, so that those of the public who desire to see for
themselves may have the advantage of a trip up the river. It is not likely to be so agreeable as
the picnic on Saturday but it will nevertheless afford a favourable opportunity to all who take
an interest in the water question to put themselves in a proper position to deal with the
George's River scheme. The arguments in favour of this scheme are set forth, and the
objections to it are replied to, in a pamphlet, which was sent with the invitations, and which no
doubt, can be easily obtained.
The Dettmann Dilemma
Holt, prior to his sale of the hotel to William Rust, had leased out the property to
Dettmann, an agreement which appeared originally to have gone smoothly.
Frederick Dettman(n) was born about 1830, presumably in Germany and arrived in
Sydney on the 5th March 1863 on the Balclutha from Germany. Frederick married
Casyra Florington in 1866 in Sydney (20) and they were listed as living at 4 Jenkins
Street (across Gas Lane) in the 1870 Sands Directory East side. This building is now
listed as a heritage building Georgian Warehouse, 2-4 Jenkins Street and the house
is situated parallel between Kent Street and Hickson Road, Milsons Point. (21). This
abode would have been the home to which Frederick bought his new wife. This early
1840s Georgian sandstone warehouse would have been over thirty years of age
when the Dettmans lived there. Here the language of the streets was spoken in more
tongues, and at more hours of the day and night, than anywhere else in Sydney. On
any given day, many of the people on the streets owed their allegiances to other
cities in other parts of the world.
13 The fortunes of the wharves, and hence the people, of Millers Point were tied to the
rhythms of the trade cycle. Early wharfage and ships catered to a general trade,
seizing on whatever product would turn a profit. Dettman obviously was a hard
worker as seen by his passage back and forth on the coast. However, he was first a
Left: 2­4 Jenkins Street, Milson’s Point victim in 1864, of a robbery whilst under the weather, which warranted a listing
in the New South Wales Police Gazette (22), which would have been galling:
Stolen about 2 am on the 3rd instant, from the person of Frederick Dettmann, seaman “Yarra
Yarra” steamer, whilst drunk and asleep in Clarence Street, one five pound note, Bank and
No unknown, and a gold Albert chain with key, broken, value 2 pounds.
Frederick had sailed many marine miles between Sydney and Brisbane during the
years from 1863 to 1866, sailing at least once a month, sometimes two voyages per
month. He was sailing during the time he had the lease on the hotel, with ten trips
alone during 1866. It would appear that he was doing two jobs and excelling at only
14 one; sailing. However, he was advertising the Hotel in the Sydney Morning Herald in
1865, with transport provided by a local, William Favell. In 1842, William Favell and
his wife Eleanor, were listed as farming a property named Hillside at Turrella. Their
neighbours were the families of Thomas Curtis and Henry Blackwell, who were
orchardists and gardeners. The farms and orchards were subdivided when the
railway came through.

SANS SOUCI. ROCKY POIN'T (DETTMAN'S).
Parties can be conveyed on reasonable term by the roomy and comfortable conveyance
Pioneer. Letters addressed to the proprietor, WILLIAM FAVELL, White Horse Inn, GeorgeStreet, Sydney; or Tempe, Cook’s River, will receive immediate attention.(23)
15 Whilst Frederick Dettman was holding the three year lease, he was also listed as
living as a mariner at 12 Argyle Place, The Rocks in 1867. There had been confusion
about the lease agreement, with Holt obviously not happy about the situation and it
was brought to a head in a convoluted court case in 1866, with Justice Dowling
presiding.
METROPOLITAN DISTRICT COURT.
Tuesday
(Before Mr. District Judge Dowling.)
HOLT V DETTMAN.-This notion was commenced on Monday and concluded yesterday. The
plaintiff, by his attorney, sought to recover £12 10s, being the difference between a quarter's
rent of hotel premises at Sans Souci. Mr Rogers, instructed by Mr Salter,' for plaintiff; Mr
Darley, instructed by Mr Barker, for defendant. It appeared. that in 1865 the defendant took a
three year's lease from the plaintiff, of the hotel premises at San Souci at £75 a year ; but
when he had occupied for about a year and paid, rent, a vacancy occurred by the death of Mr
Jessep in the stewardship of the Parliamentary refreshment rooms. The defendant applied to
the then Speaker of the Assembly, Mr Hay; for the appointment, but was informed that he was
ineligible unless he gave up entirely his hotel business at Sans Souci. The defendant avowed
that he informed Mr Thomas Holt, who was now in England, of this, and Mr Holt replied that
he would give him a release of the premises; that Mr Holt not only further promised, but
actually wrote to Mr Hay, recommending defendant for the appointment in the Parliamentary
refreshment room, obtained it for him, and took an intimation of this to the defendant. As
Dettmann was leaving Sans Souci, a person named Edward Rust called. upon him to take
over the premises, but Dettmann told him he had no power to let, though he had no written
release, and referred him to Mr Holt, who appears to have accepted Rust as his tenant under
certain terms. When Rust went to pay his first quarter's rent, Mrs Rust complained of its being
very high, and that business was very slack, and asked him if he could not relieve her. Mr Holt
replied that if Dettmann would take off £25, he would take off £25, so that the rent to Rust
would be only £25. To have a security against Dettmann, Rust ultimately obtained an
assignment of the premises, from Dettmann. It was, therefore, contended for the plaintiff that
it was perfectly understood by him that Rust was a subtenant, under Dettmann, who had not
been released from his engagement, and was therefore liable for the payment annually of £75
for the two years unexpired in the lease, or the difference annually between what Rust paid
and the £75. Dettmann swore that when he went to Mr Holt about being released that Mr Holt
said : I would rather you would remain ; but, as I think the appointment as steward to the
Parliamentary refreshment-room will be better for you, I will use my influence and get it for
you, and release you from your liability."
These last words were disputed by circumstances only, as Mr Holt was not present to confirm
or contradict them. - The defendant's statement of this transaction from the beginning
reflected somewhat on the plaintiff's generosity. The first overtures between the plaintiff and
defendant respecting Sans Souci, he said, took place in a Turkish bath, to which Mr Holt had
invited Dettmann for the benefit of his health. While in the bath, the subject of Sans Souci was
introduced by Mr Holt, its delightful situation, and the health-giving and invigorating properties
of the atmosphere about that locality. The beauties of Sans Souci were so eloquently
described, and the plaintiff and defendant became so enamoured with the purifying qualities
of that neighbourhood, that they had twelve Turkish baths whilst thus arranging about the
occupancy of the hotel. The bath was at Cook's River. "Doctors," said. Mr Holt to defendant,
"had told him that rest and fresh air were necessary to the recovery of his health." "I went out,
“continued the defendant, "to look at Sans Souci, and when I returned I told Mr Holt that I
liked the place very well, but it would take too much money. Afterwards he wrote me out a
cheque for £100, and he told me, for a couple of hundred pounds more he would not let me
sink! All I possessed was about £200 worth of property, and he recommended me to the
Mutual Provident Society, stating, if I mentioned his name, I should get what I required, but I
did not get any money there. I got £400 from another place. Afterwards I had; to borrow £100
16 to get a license, for the house. This made £600, I did no business, and in the course of six
months I lost the whole of this amount, Seeing the parliamentary refreshment room vacant I
saw Mr Holt." The substance of what then passed is previously stated. Dettmann further
swore that he thought the £100 from Hr. Holt was given as a present, but he soon found he
had to pay it back with 10 per cent interest; that he certainly provided several picnics at Sans
Souci for Mr Holt, but he lost by them, because he had provided for 250 persons for whom he
had received only £35, out of which he paid £18 to Mr. Holt, for rabbits, turkeys, etc., and he
had given Mr Holt £5 for a bullock worth only £4, 2s; 6d. each for rabbits when the retail
market price was only ls 6d. and for turkeys, fowls, and ducks in the same ratio above the
market price. When Dettmann found from Rust that he was considered liable for the
difference in the rent of £75 in the lease, and the£25 paid by Rust, he called on Mr Holt. The
following ís Dettmann's testimony on this point :--" I asked Mr Holt in consequence of what
was told me, if I was to take off £25, and if he held me still as his tenant ?Mr Holt said, 'Yes I
do, and you are very ungrateful; but I have you in law, and I will take the last shilling from
you." I said, "If I express myself wrongly, you must excuse; I don't want to throw anything in
your face. Tell me where I have offended and I will try to do better, for I cannot see why you
are in such a passion, because I thought I had been relieved.' - He said, ' You are not relieved,
I only gave you leave to re-let.' I again asked him if he still held me as his tenant? He said,
'Yes, because I have not relieved you legally, and you are still in my books. 'I said, ' Mr Holt, I
may be in your books, but did you not relieve me when I asked you to let me free from my
engagements, because Mr Hay would not entertain my application unless I was free of my
engagement with you?” As soon as I mentioned Mr Hay's name, he got into a great passion,
saying ' Will you reproach me with unkindness to you after writing to Mr Hay?". I said ' Mr Holt,
I mean no reproach; I merely want to recall the conversation which made me believe I was
free of my engagement.' He said, ' It does not matter what you say, you are in my books, and
I will take the last shilling from you."" I said, Mr Holt, you surely will never bring this matter into
court?' He said, 'I donot care ; I will leave instructions with my attorney, as I shall not be in the
colony.' – I said, 'Mr Holt, I dare say you have me in your power, but there will come a day
when we shall both have to stand before another Judge and to Him I leave my case. Mr Holt
then hung down his bead, and looked on the ground, and we parted."
Mr Darley, in his address maintained that the plaintiff's conduct towards defendant in this
matter was vindictive, and being vindictive it was dishonest. When it was discovered that Mr
Rust was unable to pay the rent, the afterthought occurred that he had obtained Dettmann a
good situation, that he had no written release, and that therefore he would make him pay. Mr
Rogers replied, and cited many authorities to show that no release in law had been given to
Dettmann, that he was still liable, that the circumstance fully showed that the plaintiff had
acted with much generosity, and that the probabilities were, in Mr Holt's absence, defendant's
version of the conversation was not impartial. His Honor reserved Judgment. (24)
Frederick Dettman had obviously been out maneuvered by an astute, experienced
businessman; in the lease details, the business opportunities and even the provision
of livestock. The Dettmans returned to more familiar surroundings after the case,
with Frederick passing away in Leichhardt in 1894 (Registration No 7035/1894) (25)
and his wife the next year.(Registration No 11/1895) (26)
17 The Rust Period
William Rust was another who helped open up the area, allowing people to access
the Point for recreation purposes. Sandringham had been previously known as
Strippers Point, due to the forestry work that was being done there. Gangs of men
felled trees and stripped the bark from them for use both in the area and back in
Sydney. The trees were used for lumber for building and logs for road building, whilst
the bark was used for roofing in wattle and daub housing. Timber getting became a
major industry for the area, with large crews of men needing refreshment and
recreation.

m.au/foo7/houses.html 18 By this stage, William Rust had turned Thomas Holt’s grand house on Rocky Point
Road at Sans Souci into a luxurious hotel. As the land was cleared down at Strippers
Point, Rust realised that there was an opportunity to build a hotel in the area. Rust,
due to his strong royal leanings, renamed the area Sandringham and established the
Prince of Wales Hotel, named after Edward VII and the royal’s new residence in
England. (27)

entertainment; the first was Samuel Cook and the later was Thomas Saywell. The
area now known as Cook Park was established in March 1886, after Samuel Cook
had promoted the area and lobbied the Lands Minister, James Squire Farnell for the
area to be marked for a public pleasure reserve, with a hundred foot strip from the
high water mark along the bay front eventually preserved forever for public use.
Farnell had been appointed on 18 December 1877, as the first Australian born
Premier of New South Wales. Cook had already pressured for the Government
authorities, to make funds available for the purchase of land in thickly populated
suburbs where no Crown Land was available, establishing Scarborough Park (1879)
and Arncliffe Park (1889).(28)
I am sure all such reservations will be of the greatest value, and with the large population
which is moving out upon the South Coast, the reservations proposed will be of the greatest
value in a few years. I therefore shall authorise the resumption of sufficient land out of the
grant to S. and J. Pearse of 9 acres, made February 28, 1853, also out of the grant to the
same persons of 40 acres, made February 1, 1854, to have a reservation of 100 feet above
high-water mark. I shall also authorise the resumption of sufficient land out of the grant to J.
Roth- well (now J. England) to give the 100 feet front- age. I shall also authorise the
resumption of sufficient land out of the grant to G. A. Lloyd of 61 acres, to make the 100 feet
frontage ; and this will have to be done without entering into any agreement with Mr. Hook,
although he may be informed that it is proposed to do what he desires. I shall also authorise
the resumption of sufficient land out of the grant to J. Marks to make the 100 feet frontage. I
think the whole of the land required (including Webb's grant) to the western boundary of Miss
Rutter's land should be resumed (by a proclamation) for 100 feet from high-water mark for a
public park. As the reservation in the several grants of 66 feet is for a road, I think it will be
necessary under section 7 of the Public Parks Act of 1884, after the proclamation of the park,
for the Governor by notification to declare that the several reserved roads shall be extinguished. In notifying the park, it is to be called 'Cook Park,' after Mr. Samuel Cook, who
was the person to first ask for it, and in doing so has rendered good service to the colony, and
more especially to the people of Sydney and its suburbs."
Mr Surveyor Maitland, of the Lands Department, (29)
Thomas Saywell, who had made his money from tobacco, coal mining and brick
production had purchased three large blocks of land at Lady Robinsons Beach,
between Bay Street and Bestic Street, measuring nearly one hundred acres. Saywell
20 realised that a steam operated tramway linked to Rockdale railway station, would be
capable of transporting many recreational tourists to the area. In 1885 he built the
New Brighton Hotel, with public baths, a picnic area, and a racecourse at Lady
Robinson’s Beach on Botany Bay. Earlier in 1884 he convinced Parliament to pass a
Tramway Act which allowed him to construct a private steam tramway to Robinson’s
Beach from Rockdale railway station. (30) He was also was responsible for the
planting of Norfolk Island Pines in this area, as he had seen how well they had grown
since the 1870s around the Prince of Wales Hotel at Sandringham. The trees
became a central figure in thousands of the pictures taken by the happy visitors and
stabilised the sand dunes. However, the hotel lost its licence in 1892 due to the
behaviour of its patrons and the building was offered by Saywell to Scots College, to
become their boarding school for the next four years. Sawyell’s wharf was
mentioned in the following article from The Sydney Morning Herald, 17 March 1880:
(31)
BOAT RACE AT BOTANY BAY.
A most interesting boat race took place, on Saturday last, on the waters of the above farfamed bay, be tween the Kingfisher and the Deronda, owned by Messrs. Walter Moyse and
James Geddes, of Botany. Mr. John Geddes, senior, engaged a steamer specially built
recently by Mr. Dent, of Botany, for sportsmen and others to follow the race. The racing
boats, by mutual consent, started from their moorings, opposite Sir Joseph Banks Hotel, at
half past 3 o'clock, and when rounding the flag boat at La Perouse, the Deronda led by half a
minute ; around the Customs' boat near the monument erected by the Honorable Thomas
Holt in memory of Cap tain Cook, she was a minute and a quarter in front. At a flag boat off
Sandringham she led by four and a half minutes, and at the flag boat at the outlet of Cook's
River she increased her lead, passing it ahead of the Kingfisher seven and a half minutes.
The Deronda passed the flagship, opposite Mr. Frank Smith's Hotel, nine and a half minutes
ahead of the Kingfisher, thus winning and termi nating a race, one of the most exciting one
that ever took place on the waters of Botany Bay. The afternoon sports came to a close with
a very pleasant reunion of the friends of Mr. John Geddes, son., at Corroy's Gardens, in
honour of the event and the occasion. Botany Bay is peculiarly adapted for boat and yacht
sailing, being about 21' miles in circumference, which distance was done on Saturday almost
within the two hours. When the new public wharf-which is now being constructed at Botany
Bay is completed-the renowned navigators, Cook and La Perouse, will be talked of, and
21 thought a, little more of, by the rising generation, particularly by the yachtsmen and
sportsmen of this colony.'
Very soon, the area was growing in leaps and bounds with land starting to be sold off
to prospective home owners, who wanted to enjoy the tranquil surroundings of the
bay area. There were ten lots at Ramsgate Estate at Sans Souci being offered for
auction on the Prince of Wales’ birthday, on Tuesday 9 November, 1886. Below left: Duff, Hugh. Ramsgate Estate, Sans Souci [cartographic material]Part 2 http://www.nla.gov.au/

In 1854 William Rust had married Emma J Broughton (V185441241B/1854) and his
new wife would have been involved in his publican businesses. (32). Rust had
formerly had connections with the Sir Joseph Banks Hotel at Botany and the fore
22 mentioned Sans Souci Hotel. Boxing Day of 1868 saw the first and last race meeting
held at Sans Souci. It appears to have been promoted by William Rust, proprietor of
the ‘Sans Souci Hotel’. There was more on offer than simply the races.
SANS SOUCI.-“The Fire King”, steamer which trades to the Manning River, took about three
hundred people to Sans Souci, Botany Bay. At Sans Souci the programme of sports was
unusually attractive, the horse racing being above the common. A grand luncheon was
provided in the pavilion and while the guests were at the tables two Highlanders, with
bagpipes, regaled them with Celtic music, by continuously marching round the tables and
blowing away with much perseverance. After luncheon the excursionists separated into
groups, some preferring one game and some another.(33)
The ‘San Souci Hotel’ was on the point at Sans Souci, near where the present
Captain Cook Bridge crosses the Georges River. There is still a wharf to the west of
the bridge. It is difficult to imagine the difficulties faced by those accessing it by road
and people left early in the morning to attend such events. The directions were as
follows:
The route (from Sydney) is through the village of Cook’s River (Tempe) is one of the best
macadamised roads in the colony. From the dam (across Cook’s River) to Sans Souci the
distance by the road is about four miles and a half. The road however is heavy and somewhat
rough. To go by way of the beach…. leave the main road about a hundred yards beyond the
dam and turning to the left, ascend a hill which … does not seem to lead anywhere in
particular. A piece of the crown of this hill has been excavated wide enough to allow vehicles
to pass, and this forms the entrance to Muddy Creek Road, which is well defined all the way
to Patmore Swamps. ….From the head of these swamps to the Seven -Mile Beach there is a
bridle-track over about half-a-mile of undulating sandy country, covered with stunted scrub
and bush flowers. There are marked trees the whole distance.(34)
It was reported that many people attended this once only event, but further race
meetings were abandoned, possibly due to the average quality and organization of
the races themselves. However, reports of the beautiful venue obviously encouraged
others to attend the picnic grounds at later dates, once transport became an easier
option.
Owing to the distance which this pleasant picnicking place lies from the city, and to the rather
indifferent road over a considerable portion of the journey-that lying between Cook’s River
and Sans Souci- this outlying resort of wedding parties and pleasure seekers has not hitherto
23 received that amount of patronage upon holidays which is usually bestowed upon Manly
Beach, Middle Harbour and some two or three other time-honoured shots(sic): but on
Saturday last an unusually large number of visitors congregated there. From an early hour in
the morning omnibuses, cabs, dogcarts, and vehicles of various other descriptions took
holiday keepers out to Sans Souci, while not a few were from Sydney, but more from outlying
country places made the journey on horseback, and some, unblessed by vehicle, or horse, or
means of procuring one, made the journey on “footback,” and we did not envy them the tramp.
But the most popular mode of locomotion, popular because cheap, with every prospect of fine
weather and a calm sea, was by the Fire King steamer, which was advertised to leave the
foot of King-street at 10 o’clock in the morning. This vessel had as many passengers as she
could comfortably accommodate, a very large proportion of them being ladies; and as the sea
was smooth and the weather cool and pleasant, the trip turned out a very enjoyable one. She
disembarked her passengers between one and two o’clock, and they immediately scattered
themselves over the grounds, selected suitable resting places, and then commenced to
unpack their picnicking baskets preparatory to the luncheon, for which their sea trip had so
well prepared them. Long before the arrival of the Fire King excursionists a large number of
people.. had reached the ground and were amusing themselves in a variety of ways, the
races being the principal attraction. it may be imagined that the races formed the attractive
feature which drew so many holiday folks out to this beautiful spot, but we refuse to believe it;
we opine rather that the anticipation of a pleasant ride out, or of a fine trip by sea, with the
prospect of spending the best hours of the time-honoured holiday in one of the most beautiful
spots in the environs of Sydney, had far more to do with it than the races, and we may add
that those who come with the expectation of seeing something super-excellent in the way of
equine contests must have been some-what disappointed. Not that the races were below the
ordinary country race meeting standard. A race course, fifty chains in length, had been staked
out, a “grand stand.” occupied by two ladies, two children, two representatives of the Press
and one official, who, as circumstances required, acted as secretary, treasurer, clerk of the
course, clerk of the scales, committee, starter and judge(!), had been erected, but there was
no fixed time for starting each race, no bell to warn owners and trainers to get ready, and no
one seemed to know the names of the horses or of the conditions of the contest until the
horses put in an appearance at the post. The two most prominent officials were Mr. Udhe and
Mr. West, and, to do them justice, both exerted themselves to the utmost to make everything
pass of pleasantly.
The very active stewards were, Louis Uhde, who had a slaughter house at Cook’s River,
which the St. Peters Council Inspector of Nuisances took some action against in 1871. Mr.
West is more than likely the cabinet maker, Spencer West, grandson of a convict.
The Fire King left a little before five o’clock on her return trip to Sydney, and an hour later
nearly all the visitors were on their way homeward, having made the most of a really
enjoyable day.(35)
The reputation of noted restaurateur Rust’s venue had even influenced Church
events, with mention being made at the laying of the foundation stone of St. Paul’s
Anglican Church.
The site of the intended church is on the north side of the picturesque road which connects
the village of Cook's River with Sans Souci, a locality now beginning to be well known to
holiday folks by reason of Mr. William Rust's excellent family hotel(36)
24 The new Prince of Wales Hotel, although described as being “charming”, had a
reputation for brawling and disorderly conduct and was known locally as the “Blood
and Guts”. (37) William Rust was still listed as proprietor of the Prince of Wales Hotel,
Sandringham in the 1874 NSW Police Gazette (38) and for someone who had
looked after the establishment for so many years, there is not a lot available about
his time there. There was obviously some kind of mischief occurring as can be seen
in the following article:
Police Gazette Wednesday 29 August 1877 a report from 24 August, that ON THE NIGHT OF
THE 9th or morning of the 10th of August, two cows were maliciously shot, being the property
of Mr William Rust of Sandringham. The government offered a reward of 20 pounds matching
the 20 pounds of Mr Rust, for the apprehension and conviction of the guilty person or persons.
The Governor promised a free pardon to any accomplice, if not being the person who actually
killed the said cows, if they gave necessary information about the shooting.(39)
It was stated that Mr Rust, Sandringham Hotel, Sandringham would recognise the
red and white skinned hide, despite the fact it was unbranded. He obviously was a
man who kept an eagle eye on his belongings. There were a few other tragic
occurrences during Rust’s time as hotelier where the hotel appeared to be the venue
for inquests on more than one occasion. One hunting tragedy occurred out on the
bay, where the inquest was held at the Prince of Wales in 1871 and a fatal boat
accident, eight years later, where the body was placed at the hotel to await the
inquest.
Coroner’s Inquest Accidentally shot - The City Coroner held an inquest, yesterday, at
the Sans Souci Hotel, touching the death of Mr William Moon of Waterloo. George Moon
deposed that he resided at Sandringham, near Sans Souci; he was 13 years of age; the
deceased was his father. Sandringham was his temporary residence, his ordinary place of
abode being at Waterloo; his father was 38 years of age, and a native of England; he was
formerly a gardener. His family had been at Sandringham for about four months. Yesterday,
(Wednesday) afternoon, The deceased and witness went out shooting ducks in a boat; they
went to a place called Wheeney Creek. Mr York, Mr Davis, and a boy were in another boat;
they found them at Wheeney Creek. After shooting for a while, the deceased and witness left
to go home being about half a mile ahead of Mr Davis and his party. The witness was
amidships holding the sheet; his father's gun was aft, by his aide; he had nine ducks in the
25 boat. As they were sailing witness saw a duck in the water; his father said he would have a
shot at that, reached his arm over from where he was sitting, and laid hold of the gun by the
muzzle, and drew it along. Witness at that time had his eyes turned away at the duck,
watching it, when he heard the report of a gun and his father exclaim "Oh George, I am shot!”.
Witness looked round, and saw him still sitting on his seat; deceased held up his hand, and
witness looked at it to see whether it was not it that had been shot, but saw blood spurting out
of what he believed his father's right side. Deceased then fell back on the tiller; witness asked
him to get up while he steered to the shore. Deceased then lifted his head up and laid it down
on the side of the boat; witness got up and called to Davis's party, but, not attracting their
attention, he made signs to them by shaking his coat. They then came over, and he told them
that his father had been shot; they got alongside and lifted his father into their boat, and
brought his father home. He was dead when they got him on shore; he did not hear him
speak after he said to witness, "O George, I am shot." He thought he lived a quarter of an
hour after he received the wound; he lost a good deal of blood. The gun was a muzzleloading double-barrelled one; only one barrel was loaded. His father had been accustomed to
the handling of guns for years; he was sober; he was not in the habit of drinking. When he laid
hold of the gun it was only distant from him about the length of his arm. The gun was by his
father on aside seat at his left; after the gun went off, his father dropped it at his left side.
What made the gun go off he did not know; it went off before his father had time to raise it; it
went off just as he was drawing it towards him. There was a good breeze blowing at the time,
and the boat was rolling about. Alfred Davis deposed that he was a carcase butcher, residing
at Newtown; he knew the deceased, and had known him for several years, during which time
he had always known him to be a sober temperate man. Deceased was seen by witness duck
shooting about half a mile ahead of them, and he seemed sober and all right; his son was
with him. He saw the son waving all right; his son was with him; he saw the son waving a coat,
and he bore up to the father's boat, and found that Mr William Moon had been shot, and was
lying in the stern of the boat. Blood was coming from him and there was a great deal of blood
in the bottom of the boat. He noticed a wound in his left side; he saw two guns in the boat; the
deceased used the breech-loaded on shore, and his son the other gun. He conveyed
deceased to his residence; he died just as they reached the shore, and about half an hour
after they got him into the boat. Deceased and his son appeared to be on good terms; the
latter did not do anything to cause his father to reprove or reprimand him. Further evidence
chiefly corroborative, was given by George Long, William Moon, 16 years of age, and son of
deceased, and acting sub-inspector Taylor. Dr Sedgwick, residing at Newtown, said that
being called to see deceased, he found a large wound about an inch and a half in diameter,
taking an upward and inward direction commencing at the seventh rib of the left side, carrying
away the sixth and seventh ribs, a portion of the base of the heart, and entering the left lung.
He extracted some of the shot and small portions of the ribs. The injury done to the heart and
lungs was most extensive, owing to the close proximity of the gun to deceased; “death must
have been very rapid”. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death." (40)
The fatal boat accident was even reported by telegraph in Melbourne due to the
notable death of J. Gordon, who had taken some friends out on his sailing boat.
FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT.
The Sydney Daily Telegraph of Monday gives the following account of the boat accident, the
announcement of which we had previously had by telegraph: A fatal boat accident happened on the Georges River yesterday. Five gentlemen-Messrs. J.
Gordon (nephew of the Hon. S. D.Gordon), Manders (of the Melbourne Herald), Ferris, Fraser,
and Beaker-left Botany a little after 7 in the morning in a sailing boat belonging to Mr Gordon,
and proceeded up the Georges River oystering. About a mile above Sandringham, whilst in
midstream, a sudden gust of wind caught the sails, and the main- sheet being tied, the boat
heeled over, filled, and sunk, righting as she went down, owing to the quantity of ballast on
board. Mr Manders, who could only swim a little, stayed by the boat, and found a rest for his
feet on the top of the sheet, which was some distance under water. He was joined soon by Mr
Beaker, and the other three left the place where the boat went down-Mr Ferris and Mr Gordon
clinging' to a floating keg, and Mr Fraser to some corks. The two at the boat cooeed, and after
26 some time, owing to the distance from the shore of the spot at which the accident occurred,
help arrived first in the shape of a little skiff, rowed by a gentleman named Douglas, then of a
larger boat with a black woman and two boys in it. Messrs Manders and Beaker were first
rescued, and then Mr Ferris and Mr Fraser, but Mr Gordon had disappeared. His body was,
after some search, discovered floating head downwards, and kept on the surface of the water
by the air which filled the back of his coat. All effort at restoration proved unavailing, and his
body was removed to the Prince of Wales Hotel, Sandringham, where it awaits the inquest
that will doubtless be held.(41)
By the 1880’s the area was well known as a recreational venue and Rust was trying
to expand the options available to the visitors, including the use of a pavilion for
music.
AT the licensing meeting on Tuesday, Mr Gannon applied, on behalf of the proprietor of the
hotel at Sandringham for permission to have music in a pavilion on the ground which, had
been engaged for a private party on the Queen's Birthday. The pavilion, Mr Gannon said, was
at some distance from tho hotel, and on the occasion referred to would be in no connection
therewith, as, the party by whom the pavilion had been hired, would make their own provision.
And besides, the character .of Mr Rust was a sufficient guarantee that he would allow nothing
improper to occur in any place where he had authority or control. Mr Dillon said that he had
objections to dancing saloons, either, at or near a public-house, as both from personal
observation and information from others he found that their tendency was the promotion of
the larrikin element, and had in many instances been productive of very great mischief. Mr
Gannon' said that the expense of getting to Sandringham would of itself be a bar to the
presence of larrikins. It would involve the expenditure of something like a pound to get to
Sandringham, whilst a single shilling would suffice to convey them to the ordinary picnic
grounds and dancing places. ..The Bench refused the application (42)
Although this was not successful, by 1884 the site included such period interests as
a zoological garden, a dam and surrounding gardens, two dance halls and a sweet
shop for the children. The shady picnic grounds encouraged people to laze, feast
and promenade in the fresh air and sun.
W E Rust was still the licensee in December 1883 and when the initial section of the
Illawarra Railway was opened in 1884, the Prince of Wales hotel was chosen as the
venue for the official luncheon. Buses were used to transport the officials and guests

for a sit down lunch and speeches. There were over two hundred attendees, who
watched a regatta on the water in front of the hotel. This was a successful promotion
by Mr Rust, which publicised the beauty and amenities of the area to dignitaries and
the general public, with great print media coverage and even the creation of artistic
representations of the event.
28 On the 12 December1883, the licence was transferred from William Rust to Edward
D Tollomache and an apparent consortium consisting of Messrs Whelow, Tidswell
and Cauvarel. In the following years from 1886-1897,the Sands Directory shows the
Rusts listed living at nearby Plimsoll Street, Kogarah.(43). Sadly, Emma
predeceased William at Kogarah in1895 (Registration no 5072/1895) (44) William
then moved to Endeavour Street, Sans Souci in 1899 until his death, registered at
Kogarah in 1913. (Registration no 17311/1913) (45)
One of the oldest N.S.W. colonists, Mr. William Edward Rust, died at Sans Souci(near
Sydney) on October 27, at the age of84. Mr. Rust had been for upwards of 40years the
proprietor of either the Sans Souci Hotel, the Prince of Wales's Hotel, or the Sir Joseph Banks
Hotel, at Botany.(46)
The Tollemache, Whelow, Tidswell ,Cauvarel, Ridgeway, Tollemache and Cauvarel
Years
The next period of ownership appears to be that of a consortium running the Prince
of Wales Hotel. The licences appear to change hands a few time during the period
from 1883-1888, due to switching fortunes, finally ending back in the hands of
Frenchman Aristide Cauvarel. Early December 1883 saw Edward Dysant
Tollemache take over the licence for his first time. Earlier in the year he had been
managing a large temperance hotel in Bourke Street, Melbourne, which catered for
over two hundred guests. These coffee taverns were set up by some notable
Melbourne establishment members to provide a venue where working men could go
without drinking alcohol. There had been increased interest in the temperance
movement and the coffee taverns were established near the waterfront, theatre and
red light districts. Tollemache’s tavern cum hotel was the first built in 1879 and was
29 designed by renowned Victorian architect, William Pitt. The beautiful building, as
seen below, has since been demolished. It would have been a cultural shock for
Tollemache to move to a more alcoholic venue, such as the Prince of Wales Hotel.

his experience with such a large establishment would have been advantageous. (47)

At the same time Mr Tollemache was considering his move up to Botany Bay, there
was some clandestine meetings going on at the Sandringham Hotel. The
extraordinary divorce case of Horowitz v Horowitz and Solomon was causing a stir in
proper society. This was such a sensational, society case it warranted two pages of
the weekend Herald with charges of cruelty levelled towards the wronged husband
over a case that had ten days of cross witness statements. As was the situation at
the time, the jury found in favour of the wronged husband and he was awarded five
thousand pounds damages, half of what he was asking for, with the story even
making news in New Zealand papers. A far cry from the sedate goings on down
south in Melbourne; the temperance people would surely be recommending more
coffee and less alcohol for all those involved!
EXTRAORDINARY DIVORCE CASE.
The case of Horwitz v. Horwitz and Solomon, in which
Michael Henry Horwitz petitions for
dissolution of his marriage with his wife Flora Martha Horwitz, on the ground of her adultery
with Henry Albert Solomon, has occupied the attention of Mr Justice Windeyer and a jury of
12 for the past fortnight. Yesterday the evidence concluded, and the addresses of counsel will
be heard on Monday. The case has been heard for the sake of convenience at the
Darlinghurst Courthouse. The petitioner claims a divorce on the ground of adultery committed
at the Royal Hotel, Sydney, at Sandringham, Sans Souci, La Perouse, and other places; and
claims £10,000 damages from the co-respondent. The respondent's defence is an absolute
denial of any infidelity on her part, but her defence also includes a counter charge of adultery;
a charge of cruelty towards the respondent such as to conduce to adultery; and condonation if
any adultery was committed at all. The following were the issues submitted to the jury : - 1.
Whether Mrs. Horwitz committed adultery with Solomon between the 5th December, 1882,
and the 5th April, 1883, at Sandringham, Sans Souci, La Perouse, or other places in or near
31 Sydney, or at the Royal Hotel, Sydney? 2. Whether the petitioner, Michael Henry Horwitz,
committed adultery with a person unknown, at a house in Goulburn-street, between 20th
January, 1878, and the 1st January, 1879? 3. Whether the petitioner condoned tho adultery
charged against Mrs. Horwitz? 4. Whether the petitioner had been guilty of cruelty towards
the respondent, Mrs Horwitz? The questions to be decided by the Court alone were: - 1.
Whether the petitioner had been guilty of such cruelty towards the respondent as bad
conduced to the adultery charged against her with Henry Albert Solomon, the co-respondent?
2. Whether the petitioner had been guilty of such willful neglect or misconduct towards the
despondent as had conduced to the adultery charged against the respondent with the corespondent?(48)
Ernest Tollemache was regarded as a very successful hotelier by this stage, but his
background had mainly been in running catering companies, buffets and cafes, as
well as the Coffee Tavern and possibly he was a bit out of his depth with his new
venture. By November 1887, just over a year from his taking over the licence, Ernest
found himself in the insolvency court, with a schedule filed for liabilities of £1,355, 14
shillings and 11 pence.(49) Sadly, his assets only totalled the grand amount of £5,
which was possibly the reason the hotel is listed as being run by Thomas Ridgeway
as of 4 August 1886 and why he transferred the hotel’s licence to Edward M Byrne,
with a billiard licence on the 14 September 1887. However, Ernest would be back
twice more to run the pub on the point.
Not much is known about Thomas Ridgeway other than he ran the hotel for just over
a year whilst Tollemache was gathering himself financially. Sands shows him to be
later running the Native Rose Hotel 1888-1890 on the corner of Little Hay and Dixon
Streets in town and having a son in 1889, eventually residing at Farr Street,
Rockdale in 1891. In 1898 Ridgeway was a candidate in the Cook Ward Municipal
elections:
MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
COOK WARD.
All the candidates in the field, both for the ordinary and the extraordinary vacancy in Cook
Ward, delivered addresses last night. The meetings without exception were very orderly…Mr
Thomas Ridgeway addressed a meeting from a window at the Surry Hills Hotel, Crown Street.
32 Mr. James Giles presided. The motion of confidence was proposed by Mr. E Malumby,
seconded by Mr J Exton, and carried unanimously. (50)
In 1901 Ridgeway was still in the hotel business, being the licensee of the
Castlemaine Hotel, on the corner of Harbour and Hay Streets. However, he was
caught for breaches of the Liquor Act, for selling liquor at “unlawful hours” and was
fined £2 and ordered to pay 5 shillings sixpence in costs or face twenty one days in
jail. (51) He did not return to the Prince of Wales and Ernest Tollemache took over
the hotel again before he transferred to Edward M Byrne in September 1887.
Ridgeway is last listed in Sands, living in Bridge Street, Drummoyne in 1918.
Two other men had the licence of the Prince of Wales during this period, Messrs
Whelow and Tidswell. Edward Jules Whelow, at least, had a history of running public
houses with his name being listed as the licensee at the Emu Inn, George Street in
1876;the Commercial Hotel in 1878;the Payten’s Hotel at Parramatta in 1880 and the
Coogee Bay Hotel in 1886. However, for Whelow, this experience did not save him
from court, tragedy and ultimate bankruptcy. In 1879, Edward was involved in a court
case involving a steamship that had run into his wharf at Sandringham.
E. J. WHELOW V. G. AND B. NICOLL.
In this case Mr. Rogers, instructed by Messrs. Gannon and M'Laughlin, appeared for plaintiff ;
and Mr. Pilcher, instructed by Messrs. Spain and Sly, for defendants. Plaintiff alleged that
defendants, by their servants, so negligently and unskilfully directed a steamship known as
'The Richmond’, at George's River, Sandringham, near Sydney, that the said steamship ran
foul of and struck against a wharf belonging to plaintiff, whereby it was broken down and
destroyed, that he incurred expense in rebuilding the wharf and repairing damage done to it,
and that he lost the use of it for a long time and tile profits he might have received there from.
The sum of £30 was claimed. A jury of four was impanelled in the case, and after hearing
evidence, they found a verdict for plaintiff for £2 damages and £5 compensation, in addition to
£10 paid into Court.(52)
Sadly, Edward also had tragedy occur in his family whilst publican at Parramatta with
the death of his son in a dreadful rail accident. Whilst Edward Whelow senior had
moved on from the area, his son was still working in the locality.
33 Railway Guard Cut to Pieces.
A shocking railway accident occurred on the Illawarra line on Saturday afternoon. A man
named' Edward Whelow, guard of the 1. 57 train from Sydney to Hurstville, was observed to
fall off the foot board as the train was passing Kogarah. The accident occurred near the
railway gates. Whelow fell on the line, and the wheels of several carriages, passed over his
body. He was picked up as speedily as possible, but the poor fellow died a few minutes
afterward. Whelow was generally respected by his fellow employees, and was, we believe the
son of a publican in Parramatta.(53)
Frederick Charles Tidswell was another publican with experience who had dealings
with the Prince of Wales during this tumultuous period of changing licences. His
family, like Whelow’s, faced terrible family tragedy whilst a publican and after.
Frederick appears to have come from an extended family of publicans. He was born
in Balmain in 1866, to father Henry and mother Elizabeth. Their home Alderley
House in Booth Street Balmain eventually became Balmain Hospital.

then known as Alderley House, Booth-street, Balmain, were purchased fromMr. H. P. Tidswell
for £3000, and this is the site occupied by the hospital to-day.(54)
34 Frederick married his wife Florence Arnott Macdonald at St John’s Church in
Balmain in 1889.
TIDSWELL-MACDONALD.-February 6, at St. John's Church, Balmain, by the Rev. A.
Turnbull, Frederick Charles Tidswell to Florence Arnott Macdonald.(55)
They went on to have a son Frederick Auld Tidswell, born 7 December 1889 at home,
in Gladestone Street, Bexley. The house, Alderley, was named after his childhood
home. A daughter, Isabella Cora Tidswell was born in 14 December 1891, also at
home. Isabella grew up, married William J Hewetson in 1920 in Sydney and died
after a long life aged ninety on 7 March 1982 in Casino.
Frederick had, as well as his publican income, business interests as a stock and
share broker and mining agent.
Notice is hereby given that the PARTNERSHIP here to for existing between WALTERBURRELL and FREDERICK CHARLES TIDSWELL, carrying on business as Burrell, Tidswell, and Co., at 108Pitt‐street, in the city of Sydney, as stock and Share Brokers and Mining Agents, has this day been DISSOLVED by mutual consent. All moneys due to the late partnership will be received and all accounts will be paid by Mr WALTER BURRELL, who will carry on the said Business under the style of BURRELL and CO. Dated this twenty‐eighth day of February, In the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety. WALTER BURRELL. F. C. TIDSWELL. Witness to both signatures‐GEORGE ROBSON.(56)
In December 1904, the Tidswells were still living at Gladestone Street, Bexley as
noted in a very detailed robbery report in the Police Gazette on the 7 December
1904. This included, two watches, described in minute detail, as well as a very old
silver padlock bracelet, assorted gold and silver coins, including a George III
sovereign and a Kruger shilling in a mother of pearl inlaid black box, measuring
twenty one by nine inches. There were also scrips in the name of his wife, Florence
Arnott Tidswell, which added up to a significant amount Frederick worked hard for
his money and obviously resented somebody breaking in and stealing his property.
35 Luckily, due to good luck and maybe some good detective work, some of the goods
were found nearby, in scrub off Forest Road, a week later.
“The box containing the silver bracelet and a quantity of scrip, also a quantity of jewellery, the
property of F.C. Tidswell of Bexley, has been found in some scrub near Forest Road. There
are still missing a George III sovereign, a full set of Silver Jubilee coins, a Kruger shilling, a
Queen Anne coin and the two watches described.”(57)
Frederick died in North Sydney at the relatively young age of fifty-six. His death
notice made mention of his late father.
TIDSWELL.-January 23, 1916, at Clifton, Kirribilli Point, North Sydney, Frederick Charles
Tidswell, late of Alderley, Gladestone Street, Bexley, youngest son of the late Henry
Earnshaw Tidswell, of Balmain, aged 56 years by request, no flowers? (58)
Sadly, Frederick and Florence’s only son Frederick (Dick) ironically died from injuries
from a motor vehicle accident in Geelong, despite surviving World War One, barely
three years after Frederick senior’s death.
TIDSWELL.-On the 2nd November. 1919. at Geelong, Victoria, from injuries- received in
motor accident, Lieutenant Frederick Auld (Dick) Tidswell, B.F., of 5th Pioneer Battalion, only
son of the late F. C. Tidswell and Mrs. Tidswell of ' "Clifton," Kirribilli Point, Sydney, and
grandson of the late Henry Earnshaw Tidswell, of Balmain, N.S.W., aged 29 years. (59)
The Time of Aristide Cauvarel
Aristide Cauvarel was born in France about 1856-58 and there is confusion
regarding his date of birth. Aristide married Bridget O’Brien in 1880 in Sydney
(Registration number 1046/1880). They had a daughter Louisa A Cauvarel, born in
1881; a son Aristide (Arthur) who was born in 1883, who sadly died in 1901; and a
second daughter Mary Rose, born in 1887. The death of a son appears to be a sad
36 pattern for the licensees of the hotel. Aristide junior died on the 8 August 1901 at
Nerringundah, NSW aged only eighteen years of age. It was a tragic death, suicide
by means of slitting his throat, an event that would have shattered the family.(60)
Aristide is listed by Sands as being the publican of the Prince of Wales Hotel in 1889
and already had the licence on the 21 May 1888. The hotel was being heavily
promoted in the press as a venue of enjoyment, society and class. Cauvarel was a
caterer of some note, so he was not just the publican and there were plenty of
positive comments regarding his hospitality.

PICNICS.
For many years past it has been the custom of the Mayors of the Borough of St Peters to
entertain their aldermanic colleagues and friends annually at a supper and ball, but the
present occupant of the civic chair, Mr. James Fallick, has this year departed from the usual
practice, by giving an outing and a dinner to the members of the council and their friends, and
in this new mode of dispensing the Mayoral hospitality he has been most successful. The spot
chosen for the rendezvous was the pleasantly situated grounds ofthe Prince of Wales Hotel,
Sandringham, and thither a fairly large company proceeded by rail yesterday at the invitation
of the Mayor. After reaching the grounds various games were organised and several forms of
amusement, including dancing, were indulged in until the hour for dinner arrived, when
about150 persons, among whom were a large number of ladies, sat down to an excellently
prepared repast, laid in the long room of the hotel. At the conclusion of the dinner, over which
Mr. Fallick presided, a list of popular toasts was honoured, and several appropriate speeches
were made by Mr. J. H. Carruthers, M.I..A., and Messrs. W. G.Judd (Mayor of Rockdale),
Charles Moyes (Mayor of Marrickville), G. H. Sparkes (Mayor of Camperdown),the chairman,
and other gentlemen. In replying to the toast of "The Parliament," Mr. Carruthers deplored
that the present Parliament was not doing a deal of good for the country, which he hoped
would at the next election send men to the House who would represent the electors
honourably and straight-forwardly, having nothing before them but the good of the colony. At
the termination of the speeches the company dispersed and sought enjoyment in walking
along the beautiful beach, or in visiting some of the pleasant spots that abound in that locality.
About sunset the party returned to town well pleased and in high spirits, after having spent a
most enjoyable holiday. The catering, which was in the hands of A. Cauvarel, the proprietor of
the hotel, was carried out in first-class style.(62)
37 Despite all the apparent success of the venture, Cauvarel put the hotel up for sale on
the 17 August 1888. The ongoing transport issues could have possibly been a factor
for the sale. Other problems faced by the hotelier included dealing with dud checks
as well as the occasional drunken patron.
TO Bona Fide Investors in Hotel Property, seeking a good Business and a comfortable home.
FORSALE, the Lease. Licence, and goodwill. etc, of the PRINCEOF WALES HOTEL,
Sandringham. The proprietor wishing to retire from active business, personal application only
is invited by the undersigned, who will willingly give all particulars to a bona fide purchaser.
No agents or brokers need apply. A. CAUVAREL, Prince of Wales Hotel, Sandringham. (63)
Obviously, he did not sell the business at the first attempt, as he was still listed in
Sands at the hotel at Sandringham in 1889. By 1890, Cauvarel was at the Milson’s
Point Hotel, Alfred Street, St. Leonards East. There would be no shortage of
transport at his new venue, but the transport woes of his old business were
mentioned in the Sydney Morning Herald by a slightly disgruntled guest.
THE KOGARAH TRAM.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
Sir,-I am staying at the Prince of Wales Hotel, Sandringham, a "lovely spot”, and am pleased
with everything, except the inconvenience arising in consequence of there being no tram
returning from here to meet the train at Kogarah to Sydney later than 6.20 p.m. Several times
friends have arrived by 2.54 p.m. tram intending to stay to tea and spend the evening, but to
their dismay they had to return by 6.20p m. A tram to meet a later train returning to Sydney
would be a great boon. Trusting you will kindly insert this, I am, A VISITOR AT
SANDRINGHAM. Jan. 17. (64)
The Cauvarels went on to have the licences of more hotels such as the Royal Hotel
at Gundagai from 1903-1906, the Royal Hotel at Dubbo from 1912-1921 and the
Imperial Hotel at Bingara 1922-1923 as seen in Sands. They must have been
successful, as there were overseas trips to be enjoyed. In 1920 they left for an
extended holiday for over nine months to Durban, Mauritius, England, Ireland then
on to France. Cauvarel had a reputation as an excellent hotelier and was always
38 known to be patriotic and involved during the war. Sadly, his wife passed away in
1923, as well as one of his daughters, but he continued to travel the world with his
surviving daughter Anne.

leaves Australia for Natal.
The Short Stay of Frederick F Evers
The next publican to run the Prince of Wales Hotel, if only for a short time, was Mr
Frederick F Evers. Frederick married Emilie W Lessing at Petersham in 1888
(Registration No 2323)and Sands have him listed as being the proprietor of the hotel,
living at the Prince of Wales in 1890. (65)
However, by the period 1891-1892, the young couple had moved to a residence in
Arthur Street, Marrickville. There appears to be no further records regarding this
particular man and his wife after this time, except for a solitary Mrs F Evers residing
in North Sydney in 1901 and at 23 Aubin Street Neutral Bay in 1902. (66)
There were still many social events occurring at the hotel during 1890, as can be
seen in the photo of the happy group of Kogarah parishioners in front of the Prince of
Wales Hotel at Sandringham. A steam tram also operated between Sans Souci and
Kogarah in the 1890s which allowed people to enjoy bathing, boating and fishing.
Many companies held their end of year picnics at the hotel and within its grounds.
The annual picnic of the association was held on the previous Saturday, at the Prince of
Wales Hotel at Sandringham, to which about 6O or 70 members and ladies proceeded in
drags the usual amusements were provided in the form of cricket, quoits and at the luncheon
the toasts of " The Queen,"" Kindred Associations and Mercantile Interests," and The Ladies,"
were honoured (67)

http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13774949 The Carl (Charles) H. Luicke (Linke, Lincke, Links) Years
The next publican to be shown at The Prince of Wales is Carl H Luicke, with his
licence being renewed on the 1 July 1891. (68). Two years previously, a twenty nine
year old Carl Luicke had arrived in Sydney from Hamburg, on the ship “The Meissen”.
In 1890 Carl 'Charles' Lincke, from Hamburg, had married Ellen Cavell in Victoria.
Lincke established much positive publicity in the press, stating the first class facilities,
at the Prince of Wales, encouraging visitors to the venue in 1890.

Princes Highway, Rockdale where he was known as both Carl and the Anglicised
name of Charles.

Meanwhile, despite the comings and goings of various publicans, as mentioned
earlier, this decade saw the hotel and its grounds host to a variety of social events.
Some were quite particular to Victorian times such a paper-chase with harriers.
Runners competed in non-competitive running following paper trails which was a
common sport in English schools at that time and was known as the 'paper chase'.
The participants were from the many amateur athletic clubs called "harriers", which
had grown up throughout the United Kingdom, and were duplicated in Australia at
the turn of that century and slowly grew in popularity. However, with the arrival of
other sports as cricket and rugby, the paper chase became less popular.
HARRIERS- There was a large gathering of harriers at Prince of Wales Hotel Sandringham,
on Saturday, when a paperchase took place over about 4 1/2 miles of good level country. The
hares’ were Messrs W. Horsefield and J S McGifford, both of the Darlinghurst Harriers. They
received a start of IO minutes. The pack that followed was a large one. The first home was A.
Seers, of the Redfern Harriers, who was closely followed by A. Thomas, of St. George
42 Harriers. The time was 35 minutes. The evening was spent at the hotel and proved most
enjoyable. A musical programme enlivened the proceedings(72)
Other pastimes still exist today, that of football and the gentleman’s game of cricket,
and the officials of one particular sport celebrated their annual picnic at Sandringham
and managed to combine the two, with host Lincke preparing an excellent dinner to
finish the day’s celebrations. This was his second term at the Prince of Wales,
returning from Rockdale in 1902 to run the establishment.
FOOTBALL N.S.W. REFEREES' ASSOCIATION.
The eighth annual picnic of the N.S.W. Referees' Association was held at the grounds of the
Prince of Wales Hotel, Sandringham, on Saturday. In the afternoon a cricket match was
played between the president's team, captained by Mr. J F Macmanamey, and one led by Mr.
Purdy. After an enjoyable game the latter's side proved victorious by 5 runs… A party to the
number of about 60 sat down to an excellent dinner prepared by Host Lincke…. A number of
songs were rendered, and a most enjoyable evening was spent, the majority returning to town
by the 9 o'clock tram from Sandringham(73)
In1904 Foley Brothers, an established business of commission agents and produce
merchants, hosted their annual employees’ picnic at Sandringham, a tradition that
had occurred during the years when the hotel was under the licence of both
Tollemache and Lincke. Both men could not resist the call of the hotel, returning to
enjoy the atmosphere and scenery of the area.
EMPLOYEES' PICNIC.
The annual picnic of the employees of Messrs. Foley Brothers was held at Sandringham on
Saturday, and proved in every way a success. The picnickers left Redfern station in a special
car attached to the 10.10 a.m. train, and on arrival at the scene of festivities a sports
programme was commenced. At about 1 o'clock an adjournment was made to the spacious
pavilion attached to the Prince of Wales Hotel, where Host Lincke had prepared dinner. Mr. M.
P. Foley presided, and was supported by other members of the firm.The loyal toast, also
those of "Foley Brothers" and "The Employees," were honoured. The chairman pointed out
that this firm enjoyed the distinction of being the largest exporters of butter in Australia, and in
order to show the magnitude of the trade he pointedout that one of the firm would be leaving
for England shortly to look after its interests there. This, he said, was necessary each year,
owing to the larger trade. At the conclusion of the dinner the sports programme and dancing
were continued, and the excursionists left for home at about 10 o'clock.(74)
However, it wasn’t all beer and skittles for Mr. Carl (Charles) Lincke at the Prince of
Wales. In 1906, he was in court facing charges of having people in his hotel, drinking,
43 after legal hours of trade. Obviously, the concept of “Staff drinks” did not exist at this
period of time, despite the magistrate recognising the quality of the establishment
and Lincke claiming his flawless hotelier’s record of twenty two years as defence.
BREACH OF THE LIQUOR ACT.
At the Newtown Police Court yesterday, before Mr. Isaacs, S.M., Charles William Lincke,
licensee of the Prince of Wales Hotel, Sandringham, was charged with having permitted
persons who were not lodgers, in-mates, or travellers, to be upon his licensed premises at a
time when such premises should not be open to the public. Peter Herrman, of Gray street,
Kogarah, Leslie Dickey,of Gladstone street, Kogarah, Thomas Kenny of King street,
Newtown, Emil Matther, of Como, and George Sixsmith, of Regent street, Kogarah, were
each charged with having been found on the licensed premises of the Prince of Wales Hotel,
Sandringham, at a time when such premises should have been closed. Lincke and Herrmann
pleaded not guilty, but the other four pleaded guilty. The defence was a denial that any
business was being transacted in the bar, or that liquor was being consumed. They were all
convicted. The publican said he had been in business as a hotel keeper for 22, years, and
had never been convicted. The magistrate said he recognised that this hotel was one of the
best conducted places in the State; still he believed that a breach of the Act had been
committed, and he would therefore convict each of the defendants. Lincke was fined £2 and
6s costs, and the other defendants were each fined 10s and 6scosts, in default imprisonment
for three days. (75)
The Charles Hecht Time
Charles Hecht, the next publican to run the Prince of Wales, appears to have been
what is commonly known as a colourful Sydney identity or maybe just a bad
business man. He fronted court on many an occasion, mostly connected to his
business dealings. His first business venture to founder was as part of an odd
job/handyman partnership that had been started in 1877. His partnership with Peter
Robins collapsed due to lack of funds to continue operations and Hecht was
declared insolvent.
NEW INSOLVENT.
Frederick William Charles Hecht, of Victoria street, Carlton, trading in partnership with Peter
Augustus Robins, as the Express Odd Jobs and Help Company. Cause of insolvency-Want of
capital to carry on the said company, which commenced business on the 19th July, 1877.
Liabilities, £84 11s 6d.; assets, £10 5s ; deficiency, £74 6s. 6d, Mr, Jacomb, assignee. (76)
44 Hecht, who was stated to live in Carlton, was involved in insolvency court two
months later in September 1887, with meetings to look at his estate in order to pay
outstanding bills. There is no apparent evidence regarding the outcome of these
legal proceedings, but there is mention of Charles Hecht obtaining the licence of the
Glasgow Arms in George Street, Sydney in July 1891.
Water Licensing Court.
Captain Fisher, S.M., presided at the weekly meeting of the Water Police Licensing Court
today. Mr. B. Lee, S.M., and Mr. Graham, L.M.,were also on the Bench. Transfers of licences
were granted from Jacobus Doyer to Charles Hecht, Glasgow Arms, 316,George-street.(77)
Charles Hecht soon found himself back in court, alongside his wife, suing for
wrongful dismissal from their positions of hotel managers of Pfahlert’s Hotel at
Wynard in Sydney.
A Hotel Transaction.
In the No. 1 Jury Court on Wednesday, before Mr. Justice Windeyer and a jury of four,
Charles Hecht and Elizabeth Hecht, his wife, sued B. T. Fink to recover .£131 5s 8d for
wrongful dismissal from the position of hotel managers to defendant, of Pfahlert's Hotel,
Sydney, and for wages due. The plaintiffs contended that when they entered the service of
defendant the male plaintiff was to receive a salary of £5 per week, and his wife a salary of
30sper week. A stipulation was made that should either party desire to terminate the
engagement, they should give one month's notice of their intention. The plaintiffs alleged that
the defendant had dismissed them without the notice agreed upon being given. The
defendant denied that he was indebted as alleged, as before the commencement of the
action he satisfied the plaintiffs' claim by payment of £63. The case stands as part heard.(78)
The Hechts were to have little satisfaction, only to receive a cheque for half the
amount that was owing to them.
The action brought by Charles Hecht and Elizabeth Hecht to recover £131 5s 8d from B. T.
Fink for wrongful dismissal from the position of manager and manageress of Pfahlerts Hotel,
Wynyárd Square, was concluded in No. 1 Jury Court to-day. The jury gave a verdict for
defendant, and his Honor suggested to plaintiff the advisableness of accepting a cheque for
£68 which he had returned to the defendant, and to relinquish any further proceedings.(79)
Within weeks Charles was back in court, this time to transfer his publican’s
licence of the Glasgow Arms in George Street. He was then noted as residing
45 at the Prince of Wales Hotel, Sandringham, formerly residing at the Glasgow Arms,
George Street, Sydney. He is described as a caterer by Mr. E.M. Stephen, the
official assignee in the matter of his bankruptcy proceedings. These proceedings
were to be finalised by the 25 June 1892.
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF NEW~SOUTH WALES. In Bankruptcy-No. 5061
Re CHARLES HECHT, of Prince of Wales Hotel, Sandringham-road. Caterer.
NOTICE is hereby given that the Single MEETING of Creditors in the above matter will be
held at the Court, Chancery-square, Sydney, on the 29th day of June, 1892,at ll a.m., or as
soon after as the course of business will permit. To entitle a Creditor to vote thereat his proof
must be lodged with the Registrar in Bankruptcy not later than the 25th day of June, 1892.(80)
So, by 6 October 1892, Hecht was a known bankrupt, which would have been
common knowledge in the hotel circle:
Re Chas. Hecht, of Sydney, publican. The report of the official assignee was considered, and
the certificate was ordered to issue.(Before the Registrar.) (81)
The question must then be asked, how did a certified bankrupt, by October
1892, get the hotelier licence of the Prince of Wales hotel by the November
the same year?
LICENSING COURT.
Mr. Cornelius Delohery, S.M., presided at the weekly meeting of the Metropolitan Central
Division of the Licensing Court, held at the Central Police Court at noon yesterday. The
license held by Carl Links, for premises known as the Prince of Wales Hotel, Sandringham,
was transferred to Charles Hecht. (82)
The next mention we have of Mr Hecht in anything of note is with regard to him being
in possession of a stolen gold watch. He is listed by Sands as living in Ferry Street,
46 Glebe in that year, so he is no longer residing at Sandringham. His time at the Prince
of Wales is over.
The gold watch reported stolen (1893), the property of Henry Francis, 18 Nelson Street
Annandale, has been found in the possession of Charles Hecht and handed over to the
owner.(83)
Mr E D Tollemache Again
There is little to be found regarding the licensees of the hotel in the next five years
between the time of Charles Hecht and Tollemache taking back the licence in 1898
after leaving the Forest Lodge City Buffet. The area became known as Tollemache’s
Pleasure Grounds, as he provided festive food for many events.
MARSHALL'S PADDINGTONBREWERY, LIMITED.EMPLOYEES' ANNUAL PICNIC.
The annual picnic of the above brewery was held at Tollemache's Pleasure Grounds,
Sandringham, on Saturday last. Over 40 employees and visitors left the brewery in two large
drags, and reached their destination at 11 o'clock, where the day's sport was commenced by
feats of strength, footraces, etc. A cricket match was then played for trophies, the prizes being
for the highest scorer on each side….. Dinner being announced at 1o'clock an adjournment
was made to the hotel's spacious banquet-hall, where the wants of the picnickers were
supplied by Mr. Tollemache …After lunch photographs of the group were taken and games
renewed till teatime. A few musical items in the pavilion brought the enjoyable outing to a
close.(84)
On Thursday, the 19th instant the employees of Messrs Foley Brothers limited and their
friends celebrated their annual picnic at Tollemache's Grounds, Sandringham. After
luncheon…cricket and foot racing were indulged in. After tea had been partaken of dancing
was renewed in the spacious pavilion. (85)
ST. GEORGE SAILING CLUB.
On Saturday evening last, at Mr E. D Tollemache's Prince of Wales Hotel, .Sandringham, the
St George Sailing Club boat owners and skippers entertained Mr. James Gannon
(commodore of the club) at a smoke concert at which there was a large and representative
gathering. ….An excellent programme was carried out. (86)
In all, Sands show E. D. Tollemache back at the helm of the hotel from 1898 to 1902,
but by 1905 he is residing at “Glenroy” Kensington Street, Kogarah. On 30
November 1906, Mrs Tollemache had a “diamond horse-shoe and whip brooch”
47 stolen from her whilst she was a passenger on the SS Omrah. The theft was
reported at Ultimo on the 5 December 1906. (87)
In 1908 Mr Tollemache was listed as a Justice of the Peace, as he was such a
respected member of the community, in direct contrast to the previous publican. He
died in 1910, after a short illness, with his death registered at Glebe.
DEATH OF WELL-KNOWN CATERER.
The death occurred this morning at his residence, 'Noel,' Avenue-road, Glebe, of Mr. Ernest
Dysart Tollemache, who for many years was largely connected 'with the catering trade of
Sydney. He had been ailing for some time past, and for about a fortnight he had been
bedridden. He was 54 years of age, and leaves a widow and one son. The late Mr.
Tollemache was in charge of many popular cafes daring the time he was connected with the
catering business, and chief among them were the City Buffett and Holbourne's. He was also
lessee of the Prince of Wales' Hotel at Sandringham for some time. About seven years ago
he retired from business, and was appointed inspector of railway refreshment rooms. In acting
in this capacity he won many friends for his geniality, -and the impartiality with which he
discharged his duties. The funeral takes place at the Waverley Cemetery to-morrow
afternoon.(88)

The Prince of Wales appears to have had a way of luring back previous licensees.
The year 1902 shows the return of Charles W Lincke to the hotel after a sojourn at
Brighton. Lincke also seemed to be a dog bred fancier as seen in the sale notice for
champion prize winning Pomeranian dogs in 1901, whilst he was running Brighton
Baths.
FOR SALE, the two recently imported Black Pomeranian DOGS, MORR and MERRY, both
champion prize-winners. For particulars apply by letter, or Saturday next to CHARLES

Charles and his wife bred and showed their Pomeranians with much success,
virtually cleaning up the prizes in one particular show.

Charles had an eventful fifteen years this stay at the Prince of Wales until his
departure for the final time in 1917. The social aspects of the site came into its own
during this period. The Linckes were deeply involved in all types of sporting and
social events, awarding and presenting the prize money in sailing competitions,
playing competitive lawn bowls and being involved in the swimming clubs of the area.
The local and regional press covered these events regularly.
The prize of £5 5s .was presented by Mr. C. Lincke, and Mr. C. W. Blakeney also presented a
silk pennant.(91)
49 Lincke’s summer seasons were heavily advertised in the press, and improved
transport enabled visitors to make the most of the beauty of the beachside.

However, it wasn’t just picnics, promenading and lazing around on the grass for the
locals of Sandringham. The water surrounding the Hotel brought with it its own
special dangers, for the visitors and the staff. I am certain rescuing drowning
children was not on these staff member’s resumes! The daring rescue was reported
as far away as Kalgoorlie in Western Australia, as well as in the Sydney press.
RESCUED FROM. DROWNING - SYDNEY, Feb. 2, 1903
A plucky rescue from drowning was effected at Sandringham this morning by a groom named
Barney Barnabas and a young lady, Grace Partridge, both of whom are employed at the
Prince of Wales Hotel. It appears that a number of orphan children, who were spending their
51 holidays at the place, were bathing on the beach. Three of them got beyond their depth.
Barnabas and Miss Partridge heard their cries, and plunged into the water. Barnabas brought
two children ashore, whilst Miss Partridge rescued the third. They soon recovered.(93)
A SMART RESCUE.
Yesterday morning some 16 orphan children, residents of Sandringham, and ranging in ages
from5 to 14 years, were bathing from the local beach at the rear of Mr Lincke's Prince of
Wales Hotel. Three of the eldest girls got beyond their depth. They immediately screamed,
and their cries attracted the attention of Miss Grace Partridge, housemaid, and Mr Barney
Barnabas, groom at the hotel, who ran to the spot, and without divesting themselves of their
clothing plunged in. Barnabas succeeded in bringing two of the children to the beach, while
Miss Partridge rescued the third. The children were conveyed to Mr Linke's hotel, where they
were promptly attended to by Mrs Lincke. They afterwards proceeded to their home
apparently little the worse for their mishap. (94)
The wildlife of the area also had an impact on the employees and visitors as along
with pigeon shoots being held regularly, the native marine life made it appearance. I
remember my late father telling me of the sharks in Botany Bay and obviously this
was not based on urban myth.
Four big sharks appeared in 4ft. of water at Sandringham beach, Botany Bay (Sydney). Thirty
people were bathing within 50yards. They refused to leave the water, and frightened the
sharks away by splashing. An attempt made to catch the sharks by baited hooks was
unsuccessful. (95)

The improvement of transport, with almost a tram to the door of the hotel, increased
patronage at the Prince of Wales. However on the 24 March 1914, they wanted to
close the pub down and reduce licences but Charles Linck persevered, thinking of
ways to increase patronage through entrepreneurial promotion of sports such as
boxing. The great American middleweight Eddie McGoorty was at the height of his
popularity and took a lot of money out of Australia as a result of his fights with the
famous Australian boxer, Les Darcy. McGoorty was knocked out by Darcy in two
fights in July and December in Sydney at the Sydney Stadium. McGoorty was
ensconced at the Prince of Wales and was heavily promoted during his two stays.(96)
It was a charming spot, and evidently the American preferred to be ''far from the
madding crowd” when in training.

The boxing was a success and brought a new clientele to the hotel which was
continued into the 1950’s. Sadly for Les Darcy, he became embroiled in the politics
of conscription during the First World War, and left Australia for the United States to
avoid the aggravation. He died only two years after these fights, on 24 May
1917,whenhe was admitted to hospital with septicaemia and endocarditis. His tonsils
were also removed but he developed pneumonia and died. It was speculated to be
from dental work he received to replace teeth which had been knocked out during a
bout.(97)
As seen in earlier pictures in this work, the use of the grounds of the Prince of Wales
Hotel during this time period had been regularly captured by pharmacist and
photographer Joseph Brokenshire. As an amateur social historian, Brokenshire kept
54 a photographic record of the festivities at the Prince of Wales hotel and the
surrounding pleasure grounds.

Sadly, the cruelty of World War One was starting to influence the social events of the
Sandringham locals. The Prince of Wales hotel hosted many fundraising events for
the war cause, provided a venue for military gatherings and recuperative excursions.
For those still at home in Australia, these events helped rally support for the troops
overseas and fundraise for the troop comforts.
SOCIAL.
A successful dance was held recently at Prince of Wales Hall, Sandringham, in aid of the 34th
Battalion Comforts Fund. Musical and elocutionary items were rendered by Misses Stiff and
Radford, Messrs King and Blue. Miss Doris Fraser was hon secretary, Miss Violet Stiff (hon
treasurer) announced that the sum of £32 10s was cleared. The committee, consisting or
Mesdames Lamb (president of No 2 Comforts Fund), Herrmann, Perry, M'Millan, and Miss M
Millan worked very energetically. (98)

As well as being the picturesque venue against which the Volunteer Regiment could
have their photograph taken, there were outings the pleasure grounds for injured
returned soldiers. One occurred in 1918 where the Red Cross held one of their
regular monthly outings.
OUTING TO SOLDIERS.
To-morrow afternoon the Red Cross Motor Cycle Club will tender its monthly outing to
wounded soldiers. The run will be to the Prince of Wales Hotel grounds at Sandringham.
Side-cars will leave Randwick Hospital at 2, and Broughton Hall, Leichhardt, at 2.30.Those on

56 Charles finally handed over the licence of the Prince of Wales Hotel in 1919 and
there is a Charles William Lincke who died in 1943 at Armidale (Registration no
7434/1943). Lincke can be said to have had a long and successful career in the hotel
business.
William Stuart Longton’s Short Stay
William Stuart Longton was born in 1876 in Surrey, England and in 1906 married
Ada Louise Ames. In 1919 William Longton is listed as the new licensee of the
Prince of Wales, having come to Sandringham from the Warren View Hotel, Enmore
Road, Marrickville. Longton is listed in Sands as being the licensee of the Warren
View from 1912 to 1918.
Whilst running the Warren View, Longton was victim of a physical assault which
warranted a report in the New South Wales Police Gazette. Obviously, there were
some dangers in being a publican during these later years, as will also be seen in
the next few years of the hotel’s existence.
Marrickville – A warrant has been issued by the Newtown Bench for the arrest of a man,
name unknown, but who has been identified, charged with assaulting William Longton, at
Marrickville, on the 6th ultimo. Offender is about 22 years of age, 5 feet 7 inches high, medium
build, dark sallow complexion, dark hair; dressed in a dark sac suit, and a black felt hat, which
he left behind. Complainant, William Longton, “Warren View Hotel”, Marrickville. (100)
William would have been quite happy to come to the more tranquil surroundings at
Sandringham, after such an event. He was advertising his venues parties, luncheons
and dinners and was encouraging patrons to visit the venue.

William transferred the hotel licence to Albert Magull in 1922 and nothing much is
heard of him until his death at the age of fifty-three, in Kogarah in 1929.
Albert Magull
Albert Mugull arrived in Australia on the ship “Charles Dickens” on 26 February 1879
and married Annie Ryan in Glebe in 1908.Annie already had two sons, Michael and
David and a daughter Alice; the children’s father died the year Annie married Albert
and her children were brought up as Albert’s own. The first hotel Magull is listed as
having the license was the Donnell’s Hotel, Harris Street, Pyrmont. (102)
Magull was listed by Sands as being the licensee of the Quarry masters Hotel at 216
Harris Street from 1910 for nine years. The Magulls then moved to the The Rest at
Coogee, but sadly they were robbed whilst there. The thief had entered via an
unlocked door and stole jewellery and cash in the robbery. Details made the Evening
News but this robbery was reported in greater detail in the Police Gazette.
Thief at Coogee
Taking advantage of a door which had been left unlocked, a thief entered the residence of
Albert Magull. -"The Rest" Moore-street Coogee, on Saturday night, and stole a watch and
chain and money to the total value of £30. (103)
Stolen between 11 pm (20th) and 7.30 am (21st) from a bedroom at The Rest, Moore Street
Coogee a gent’s silver hunting watch, chain, a silver sovereign case, one ten pound note, two
58 five pound notes, four sovereigns and a Bulgarian half sovereign. Total value thirty pounds –
Identifiable. (104)
The next hotel that the Magull was licensee of was the Imperial Hotel, Rooty Hill,
which would have been a wonderful place to bring up a family. However, a tragedy
occurred regarding one of their employees, a Thomas Dowling whose body Annie
Magull had to identify, which appears to have led them to leave for The Prince of
Wales soon after the event. The accident was reported in grisly detail in the
newspapers of the time.
Doonside Fatality
THE INQUEST.
An inquest was held by the district coroner, Mr, A. Judges, at Penrith Court House, on Tuesday
morning concerning the death of Thomas Dowling, who was killed on the railway near Doonside on
Saturday, 8th February.
Dr. Higglns deposed: “On 21st February I examined certain remains of a man, the subject of this
inquiry. The head was severed from the body, as was also the right arm, four inches below the
elbow. The left humeral head was through the skin, etc., anterior to the joint. The left, leg was
amputated five inches below the knee, and the skull bone, etc., were lying in fragments on the
table. These injuries could be, and evidently were, caused through de ceased being knocked down
and run over by a railway engine.”
Constable McPhcraon, Rooty Hill, deposed: “On Sunday morning, 19th Feb, at 8 p.m., I received a
communication from the night officer on duty at Rooty Hill, stating that a man was lying on the
railway line near Doonside, I went to the scene in company with the local fettlers, and there saw a
man lying in the 4ft. road, on the down side, and his head facing towards Sydney. .His head was
cut off, and, his left arm and leg were almost severed and crushed about. Part of his face and skull
was scattered along the rails for a chain and a half. I, assisted by the fettlers, brought the body to
Rooty Hill, where it was identified, by Mrs Magull as that of a man, Thomas Dowling, lately
employed by them. I then took the body to the Nepean Cottage Hospital morgue to await burial. I
saw the deceased at 11 p.m. on the 18th inst., on the hotel verandah. He was then not the worse
for liquor. Several trains passed Rooty Hill between 11 p.m. and the discovery of the body.”
Albert McGull, licensee of the Imperial Hotel, Rooty Hill, deposed: “On 19th February I saw a body
brought to my Hotel by the police, and identified it as that of Thomas Dowling, by the clothing, a
shirt with black stripes, and grey trousers, which had been given to him by me. I have known
deceased about five months, and last saw him at 10.30 on Saturday night, 18th inst. He was then
sitting, on a form outside the hotel in a sleepy condition. He did not appear to be the worse for
liquor. I did not see him leave, and I do not know where he went to. He had not had any drink, I
understand, at the hotel that day. I was away, but my wife so informed me. It would be a mile along
the line from my hotel to where the body was found”.
Francis Henry Dyer deposed: “I am an engine driver and reside at New town. On 19th Fobruary I
was the driver at No. 34 goods train from Eskbank to Darling Harbor. Between Rooty Hill and
Doonside my fireman informed me there was a man cut to pieces on the down line. This was about
7.40 a.m. I stopped the train, went back with the guard; and found the body of a man lying, on tho
4ft. of the down line. On going back, we found a hat on the up line. It contained portion of brains.
About 50 yards further on we found the body lying face downward. The head was severed. The
shirt was drawn up, over tho shoulders, and a pair of grey trousers were on the body. The left leg
was cut in two places. Tho shoulders were facing Sydney and the legs were pointed westward.
59 About 40ft. further on towards Sydney there were portions of brain lying about. A pair of lace-up
boots were nearby. On the western side, 50ft. from the feet, a coat was lying, very torn and much
worn. I saw part of the scalp near the boots and belt. I informed the gatekeeper near Doonside of
the discovery. I also told the stationmaster at Blacktown, and asked him to inform the police. The
remains appeared to be cold, and the blood on the leg was dry.”
A verdict of accidental death was returned.(105)

The move to Sandringham would have been a welcome one after the ramifications of
such a horrendous accident. Magull took over the hotel lease from William Longton
in December 1922 and the family settled in to the Prince of Wales in time for
Christmas.(106)
Having to deal with the local imbibers had to be the lot of the hotelier, with violence
often being the final result of a big night out, as sometimes happens to this day. One
60 gentleman, Edward Steele had a very memorable night at the Prince of Wales, but
for all the wrong reasons.
HUMAN SKITTLES Two Out of Three
Edward Steele played up in the Prince of Wales Hotel, Sandringham, on February 5, as a
result of which he appeared on two charges at the Kogarah Court to-day. Constable Kinkade
said that defendant had fought a number of men. He struck three opponents and two of them
fell to the floor insensible. Steele appeared demented and explained that he some drink after
abstaining for six months and fined £2 for riotous behaviour and £3 for having used language.
(107)
In 1924, Sands shows that Albert Magull and family also had interests in the Imperial
Hotel at City Road, Sydney. It would have been difficult running two hotels at the one
time and trouble was brewing at the Imperial. Not that Magull had necessarily done
anything wrong, but rather had left the Imperial to run be run by one not as honest as
he. Despite not personally committing the crime, Albert Magull and another hotelier
had to pay for the crime of alcohol switching. His lawyer notes that Albert was by
now an invalid and was forced to depend on others to run his business.
HOTELKEEPERS FINED. WHISKY NOT UP TO STANDARD.
Lewis Wyndham Bye, licensee of the Kent Hotel, Pitt-street, and Albert Magull, of the Imperial
Hotel, City-road, were proceeded against at the Central Summons Court yesterday on
Informations, which charged them with having sold -whisky not of the quality demanded. Both
defendants pleaded guilty. For the prosecution it was slated that Inspector Lee, of the Pure
Foods Department, had asked for particular brands of whisky' from the two hotels, but the
Government Analyst's certificate showed that he had received substitute in each case. Mr.
Hunt, who appeared for Magull, said that that his client was an invalid, and was forced to
depend on others to look after his business. Bye was fined £2 with£3/16/9 costs, and Magull
£5, with £2/17/ costs. (108)
The Magull family also suffered a tragic loss with the untimely death of their son
David Joseph Ryan, also a publican at the Glasgow Arms, Harris Street, Ultimo.
Strangely, this was also a hotel I frequented in my youth, when I was working at my
first real job after graduation from school, around the same period of time that I went
61 to Mick Moylan’s. It was also one of the earlier publican’s hotels; Charles Hecht.
David Ryan’s funeral was a well-attended affair that received a lot of media coverage,
due to the high esteem in which he and the Magull family were held.
RYAN,-The Funeral of the late DAVID JOSEPHRYAN, late of Glasgow Arms Hotel, Harris
street, Ultimo, will leave St. Francis Xavier's Church, Bulwarra-road, THIS FRIDAY, after
Requiem Mass commencing at 9 a.m., for Catholic Cemetery, Rook-wood, by road. Motor

Cemetery, Rookwood, old ground, by
road. Motor Funeral. WOOD COFFILL LIMITED.(109)
Mr. D. J. Ryan.
The death of the late Mr. David Joseph Ryan, of Harris-street, Ultimo, at Lewisham Private
Hospital, on the 29th ult., removes an enthusiastic church worker, and a man of outstanding
Christian charity, who enjoyed a wide esteem. The late Mr. Ryan, who was only 37 years of
age, was educated by the Patrician Brothers at Redfern and Holy Cross College, Ryde, and
was an active member of the Holy Cross Old Boys' Union. He was also an ex-alderman of the
City Council, and took an active interest in the Labour movement for many years. Prior to the
funeral, a Requiem Mass for the repose of his soul was celebrated by the Rev. Father
Peoples at St. Francis Xavier's - Church, Ultimo, where the late Mr. Ryan served Mass for
upwards of ten years, and where he was married. The Mass was very largely attended, the
mourners including Mrs. Ryan (widow) and son, Mrs. A. Ma gull (mother), Mrs. W. J. Hickey
(sister), Mr. Dick Ryan (brother), the Lord Mayor (Alderman Mostyn) and aldermen of the City
Council, several members of Parliament, Patrician Brothers and present and past students of
Holy Cross. The funeral, representative of all sections of the community, was nearly a mile
long, and many affecting scenes along the streets through which the cortege passed testified
to the deep regard, particularly among the poor,- in which deceased was held.. The interment
took place at Rookwood, the last sad rites at the graveside being con ducted by the Rev. Dr.
Tuomey, P.P., assisted by theRev. Fathers Mclntyre, Peoples and McDonald.(110)
It is always tragic when parents outlive their child and David’s death would have
dealt the Magulls a sad blow. Not long after this tragedy, Mrs Magull was a victim of
a bag snatch whilst they were living at the Imperial Hotel. Annie was robbed on the
20th February at 11.30 am at the Imperial Hotel whilst walking on the City Road, of a
tan leather handbag, containing keys, gloves and four shillings. She was robbed by
two youths 18-20 years, 5 feet 7 inches, slight build, reddish complexion, grey suit,
62 brown felt hat with dark brown band. With such a detailed description this rogue
could be identified by Mrs Magull, however, the other assailant could not be
described (111)
There had been more problems for Albert Magull with regard to the proposed sale of
the Imperial Hotel earlier that month. Albert appears to have done everything in his
power to help the young woman in this failed business dealing.
CLAIM UNDER AN ASSIGNMENT.Power v Kelly and another.
In this case Florence Jane Power, of High street, South Strathfield, widow, as assignee of
Albert Magull, of City-road, Sydney, hotel keeper, sued James Michael Kelly and David Henry
Ellsmore (trading as Ellsmore and Kelly, hotel brokers), of Castlereagh-street, Sydney, to
recover the sum of £200, amount of deposit paid in respect of the sale of a hotel at Darlington.
Plaintiff's case was that in November last she saw defendant Ellsmore respecting the
purchase of a hotel, and a few days afterwards Ellsmore told her that he had the Imperial
Hotel, at City-road, for sale for £4400. Plaintiff told him that she did not have that amount,
whereupon Ellsmore replied that that did not matter, that he would go into partnership with her,
and would finance her, as he could, he said, get plenty of money. The same day plaintiff
signed the contract, and paid a deposit of £200 to Ellsmore, who gave a receipt for the
amount as agent of Albert Magull, the licensee of the Imperial Hotel. Ellsmore failed to finance
plaintiff as he had promised, and she saw Mr. Magull, who after learning the facts, agreed to
cancel the contract, and gave plaintiff an order to collect the £200 from defendants. Ellsmore
at first promised to pay the whole amount, but afterwards offered to pity her half and hold the
balance as a deposit against her projects. To this plaintiff would not agree, and she again saw
Mr. Magull, who have her an assignment of the amount held by defendants. They had refused,
however, to hand over the money. Defendants paid £62/10/ into Court In full satisfaction of
plaintiff's claim, and pleaded never indebted as to the balance, which they said represented
commission and expenses due by Mr. Magull to them in respect of the sale of the hotel. Mr.
Shortland (instructed by Messrs. W. D. Schrader and McFadden) appeared for plaintiff; and
Mr. Small (instructed by Messrs. Allen, Allen, and Hemsley) for the defendants. The jury
returned a verdict in favour of the plaintiff for £200, including the amount paid into court.
(112)
Sadly, Albert lost his beloved wife and business partner in 1937, who was farewelled
and buried with great acknowledgement by those who knew her, in recognition of her
kind and charitable deeds to others.
MRS. ANNIE MAGULL.
63 The death of Mrs. Annie Magull at a private hospital, Ryde, on the 15th inst., has removed a
practical and sympathetic benefactor of many of our Catholic orphanages and charities
throughout the 50 years of her residence in the metropolitan area. Born at Adare, County
Limerick, 75 years ago, the late Mrs. Magull came to Sydney while still a girl, and where she
subsequently mar ried her first husband, the late Mr. James Ryan, who conducted the Castle
Connell, and Austra lian Hotels for many years. Three children wereborn of the marriage —
Alice (Mrs. W. J. Hickey, of Norfolk-road, Epping), Michael (deceased), and the late exAlderman David J. Ryan, of the City Council. The deceased is survived by her second
husband, Mr. Albert Magull, of Coogee and Woy Woy, who formerly conducted the- Quarry
man's Hotel, and the Imperial, City-road. Other members of the original family who came from
Ireland with the deceased, are: Mr. M. Halpin, of Waverley, formerly of Goulburn, and Mr.
David Normoyle, of Randwick. Requiem Mass for the repose of the soul of deceased was
celebrated at Our Lady Help of Christians, Epping, by the Rev. Father W. Stevens, P.P., who
also officiated at the graveside. — R.I.P. (113)
The electoral rolls show him to be on the Robertson, Gosford roll in 1926, 1930,
1937, with him living at Woy Woy. Albert died at Glebe Point Private Hospital on the
24 July 1937 just a matter of days after his wife’s death, thus ending both a
successful hotel business partnership as well as a marriage.
1930-1952 The Lesley Howard Ritchie Reign
Lesley Howard Ritchie was born 1882 in Geelong, Victoria (Registration No
18444/1882) and in 1912 he married Jessie (Madeline) May Eckersley in Petersham
in 1912 (Registration No 10991/1912). Jessie was only twenty one years of age
whilst Les was thirty years old.
Eight years later Leslie Howard Ritchie had the Lewisham Hotel, Parramatta Road,
Petersham transferred into his name, from that of Martha Caldwell. (114). Nothing is
heard of Lesley until 1926, when he had a gent’s diamond ring stolen from him whilst
he was living at the Freemason’s Hotel at Burwood. The ring was later recovered by
police.
64 Lesley Howard Ritchie at the Freemason’s Hotel, Burwood had a gent’s single stone diamond
ring with a claw setting stolen. (115)
Meanwhile,back at the Prince of Wales, there was a violent “affray” in 1924 where
the local constabulary came to save the day. This sort of behaviour obviously did not
faze the Ritchie family from taking up the licence of the bayside hotel. The Electoral
Rolls for District of Barton, Sub District Ramsgate, showed Leslie and sometimes
Jessie residing at the Prince of Wales Hotel during the period from 1930-1954. As
we will see later, Lesley could take care of situations if the need arose.
ATTACKED BY GANG.
MAN BRUTALLY ASSAULTED.
A serious affray in which a number of young men participated occurred late last night in the
vicinity of the Prince of Wales Hotel at Sandringham. Following an argument a party of men
set upon William Bondfield, aged 35 years, of Sandringham, who was kicked into
unconsciousness and was later admitted in a serious condition to the St. George District
Hospital. After felling him his assailants kicked him viciously, and only desisted when he lay
inert and almost dead. His face was battered, his features being almost unrecognisable. It is
feared that his skull has been fractured. Constable Kinkard, the local policeman, later arrested
four men single-handed and locked them in a nearby hotel until the night patrol, under
Sargeant McKnight, of the Regent-street station, which had been informed of the occurrence,
arrived. The patrol took charge of the men, and they were taken on to the Kogarah Police
Station, where they were formally charged with having inflicted grievous bodily harm. (116)
Obviously, the area was becoming a little more violent than in the times of the
previous licensees. However, sometimes something out of the ordinary would
happen as fate would decree; just a plain accident, although in this case the person
who was involved was out of the ordinary. It was reported in a few of the newspapers
of the time and it certainly puts a new slant on being “legless” at a hotel.
LEGLESS MAN INJURED, MOTOR DRIVER ARRESTED
When a motor car crashed into an invalid chair near the Prince of Wales Hotel, Sandringham
on Saturday, the occupant, George King of Sans Souci, was injured. He was taken to the St.
George Hospital, where it was found that he was suffering from dislocation of the right
shoulder. About 12 months ago King, who was run over by a tram at Kogarah, lost both his
65 legs. The driver of the car was subsequently arrested and charged with having driven while
under the influence of liquor.(117)
Ritchie had a rough welcome to the Prince of Wales but on this occasion he proved
himself to be very fit, a good shot and took matters into his own hands until the
Police arrived.
PUBLICAN ASSAULTED - THREE MEN FINED.
Albert Edward Bishop, 27, a motor driver, and David Pert, 24, a carter, were each fined £10 at
the Kogarah Police Court yesterday for having assaulted Leslie Ritchie at Sandringham on
August 3Ritchie said that he was the licensee of a hotel at Sandringham About 2 30 p m on
Sunday the defendants visited his hotel and demanded liquor When it was refused Bishop
punched him, and Pert kicked him Another man, John Duffy, assaulted Albert Stone, a groom
in Ritchie's employ, who went to witness's assistance Witness called to his wife to telephone
for the police and to bring his gun The three men then ran away, and witness chased them He
bailed up Bishop and Pert after a chase of over a quarter of a mile, and took them to a nearby
tramway waiting-shed There Pert said, "It Is only a toy revolver " Witness fired a shot over
their heads and held them till the police arrived. Dully, who is 35 years of age and a motor
mechanic, was fined £5 for having assaulted Stone (118)
The life of a publican is never boring and the curious violence escalated in the
January of the following year after Ritchie tried to refuse service to an unusual patron
at closing time. There were several dramatic accounts of the event and its aftermath
in the press around Australia as far as Western Australia and Tasmania, for weeks

SYDNEY. Jan. 22.— After a scuffle in the Prince of Wales Hotel, Sandringham tonight, the
licensee. Leslie Ritchie (40) was stabbed over the heart. Detectives arrested a crippled man
and formally charged him with having wounded with intent to murder.(119)
SYDNEY, Thursday. - With a knife wound that just missed his heart, Leslie Ritchie, licensee
of the Prince of Wales Hotel, Sandringham, was admitted this evening to the St. George
Hospital. It is alleged that about closing time he ordered a one-legged man out of the bar. The
man threw a mug of beer at him. Ritchie followed him to the door and the cripple said, “Come
any closer and I’ll stab you.” Pulling a penknife from his pocket he plunged it into Ritchie’s
chest. When he tried to escape, he was caught by a groom. Ritchie’s dying depositions have
been taken. The cripple has been charged with attempted murder. (120)
66 For Trial On Stabbing Charge
Alfred Harold O’Rourke. 42, a cripple was committed for trial from Kogarah Court to-day on a
charge or having feloniously wounded Leslie Howard Ritchie, with Intent to murder, at
Sandringham on January 22. When charged in court. O'Rourke said: 'I had so much rum that
day that I don't remember anything.' Bail was fixed at £100. Leslie Howard Ritchie, licensee of
the Prince of Wales Hotel. Sandringham, said defendant stabbed him twice with a pen-knife.
The first time the knife penetrated to within a quarter of an inch of his heart. (121)
It must have been getting too much for poor Jessie, who was living at Moss Vale
when their daughter Vera L Ritchie died in 1933 and had her death registered there.
(Registration No 15588/1933). By 1937, the marriage must have foundered, as
Jessie marries Thomas Lawrence James Ashcroft at the age of forty-six in Moss
Vale and Sands shows her to be living at Moss Vale still in 1943. The year 1937 was
as a sad one for the Ritchie family as they buried Lesley’s father in March of this
year.
On the positive side, Ritchie would have benefitted from the introduction, in 1937, of
a silent electric trolley bus that ran from Rockdale to Kogarah, Sans Souci and Dolls
Point up to 1959. The venue had a variety of entertainment with bands, boxing and
wrestling matches as well as the usual hotel frivolities. My parents often regaled me
with tales of this two decade earlier period at the Prince of Wales as I was growing
up in the sixties.
In 1944 Les Ritchie was in trouble with the Australian Taxation Office for lodging a
false income tax return. This titbit of information was spread across the papers as far
as Broken Hill.
67 Stop Press- SYDNEY.-Charged with having furnished a false income tax return for 1940
Leslie Howard Ritchie, licensee of the Prince of-Wales Hotel, Sandringham, was fined £100
and ordered to pay £400 tax in the Central Summons Court today.(122)
During Ritchie’s time at the Prince of Wales, there were a series of advertisements in
the Sydney papers regarding a man called Douglas who was selling cars from the
premises during the period 1947-8. Nothing more can be learnt about him…his
definite surname or why and how he found himself at the hotel selling said cars. He
may have been a boxer called Arthur Douglas who hung around the hotel and was
regarded as a district pest. I was unable at this time to track down definitive
information on the man.
DISTRICT PEST
ORDERED TO BEHAVE
'DEFENDANT Is a third-rate boxer, and he uses that to intimidate people, who are thereby
induced to purchase beer for him, despite a prohibition order which has been issued. He is a
pest to the district.' Constable Kinkaed referred thus at Kogarah Court to Edward Douglas,
who was charged with offensive behavior. The constable stated that defendant was shadowsparring among some frightened children, in the grounds of the Prince of Wales Hotel,
Sandringham, on January 7. 'After that,' he added, 'Douglas put his arms around the merrygo-round proprietor and at tempted to kiss him.' Douglas was bound over to be of good
behavior for twelve months. (123)
In 1948 Ritchie took the publican’s licence with him when he left the Prince of Wales
to establish a new hotel on the corner of Rocky Point Road and Ramsgate Road at
Ramsgate. This hotel is now known as the Intersection, which still remains on the
same site

69 Mick Moylan’s Period (The Last Publican)
The hotel that lives in my memory, for the site will always be known to me as Mick’s
or Moylan’s, famously named after the last proprietor Michael Eugene Moylan, is this
hotel. I can still feel the fine sand between my toes and the gentle swish of the
eddying tide as I paddled at the water’s edge as a child in the 1960’s. My parents
had spent many a fun night at the Prince of Wales Hotel when they were a young
married couple and I was to follow in their footsteps in the early 1980’s. Ironically, of
all the publicans researched, Mick Moylan had the most limited information.

98/welcome‐
hotel.html Michael Eugene Moylan was born on the 29 October 1918 in Lancaster, Lancashire,
England. His future wife Mavis Emilie Wesley was born on the 3 July 1920 in Mackay,
Queensland. They married in 1943 at North Sydney and soon bought their first
establishment, which was the Welcome Hotel at 91 Evans Street, Rozelle. The
Welcome Hotel was a successful business which had been established in 1877. (126)
70 Whilst living here, their first daughter Maria (Rea) Moylan was born and the proud
parents announced the news in the press. Always the entrepreneur, Mick also used
the announcement as an advertisement for the establishment, with particular
wording promoting the hotel. Maria was a lovely early Christmas present for her
loving parents.
MOYLAN.-December 22. 1951. At St Luke's Hospital, to Mavis and Michael, Welcome Hotel.
Rozelle, a gift of a daughter.(127)
Their family grew with the birth of another daughter, Patricia Margaret Moylan in
1953 at their new business venture, the Prince of Wales. Mick fulfilled his dream to
own a suburban pub when he purchased the Prince of Wales Hotel in 1952. As
Stated earlier, he paid fifty six thousand pounds for the hotel, a considerable amount
of money considering Les Ritchie had taken the licence and name with him when he
had left for Ramsgate. The Moylans turned the now ramshackle hotel into a venue of
entertainment for thousands of locals over decades. They provided entertainment
both inside the hotel and in the beer garden that was on the edge of the water at the
point at Sandringham.
In August 1952, the area was devastated by severe storms over a period of weeks,
with roads cut by both sand and water. The hotel lost fifty metres of the waterfront
due to erosion and storm surge and this type of erosion continues to this day.
WATERFRONT EROSION
Storms which have lashed the waterfront at Botany Bay for several weeks have caused
serious erosion. So much sand was swept on to the General Holmes Drive in the Brighton
area that Rockdale Council used a grader to clear it. The storms have also caused erosion at
Doll's Point and Sandringham. In the last year about 50 feet of the waterfront behind the
71 Prince of Wales Hotel, Sandringham, has disappeared. Water is lapping within 10 feet of the
hotel. Rockdale Council, in an attempt to save some Norfolk pine trees on the water's edge at
Sandringham, has been dumping immense stones around them. The pine trees are more
than 100 feet high. Rain at Sans Souci and Sandringham yesterday was so heavy that water
surrounded some houses, in some cases up to two feet deep.(128)
Mick and Mavis’s daughter Rea Hewitt remembered the talent quests, beauty
contests, shows and the latest bands that entertained the locals. The hotel would
have been a wonderful place to grow up in, with the surrounding grounds and the
beautiful beachfront.
"Dad really made the entertainment the attraction because he didn't have poker machines or
Sunday trading. In those days, Dad owned the point and he was very generous, letting
fishermen access the water. Dad was a showman. We had circuses for the kids and he
imported big American cars from Detroit that were always on show in the car park. We would
have huge bonfires on cracker night."(129)

allery.htm In 1961, Mick and Mavis demolished the Prince of Wales and built Hotel Sans Souci,
popularly known far and wide as Moylan's throughout the community. The hotel had
accommodation, as the old Prince of Wales had done, which the Moylan family
hoped would encourage visitors from all over the world to stay at the beautiful venue.
There was a spacious public bar, dining room and an extensive saloon lounge
overlooking the water.
Mick Moylan wanted to create a welcoming environment for all visitors to the hotel,
young or old, male or female. Due to the licencing laws of the day, women were not
allowed in the public bar…a bastion of masculinity. The large saloon lounge provided
an area where wives and mums could relax and watch over their children playing
outside. The Moylans wanted the hotel to be a truly family venue.
74 Mick Moylan had wonderful ideas for the hotel, strongly supported by his wife Mavis
who looked after the accommodation, the paperwork and the staff. It was a happy
place to work and Mavis ’sense of humour and laughter added to the pleasant
atmosphere of the Sans Souci Hotel.
Sadly, Mick Moylan died of a heart attack aged only forty nine on the 19 April, 1969.
The hotel remained known as Moylans long past his death, such was his legacy. To
this day Sandringham Point is still spoken of as Mick Moylans. Mavis decided to sell
the property and settled at Sans Souci with her two daughters, remaining in Sans
Souci due to her love of the area.
Mick Moylan was remembered in many areas of the community after his death. The
Ramsgate clubhouse of the Ramsgate Life Saving Club had a trophy cabinet which
had been donated in Mick Moylan’s name, connecting the Club to the Sandringham
Hotel.(130) The hotel continued to be a venue of entertainment and music until its
sale to developers. That’s Right and The Celibate Rifles were both bands which
played at Mick Moylan’s, with the Celibate Rifles even recording an album at Mick
Moylan’s, Sans Souci, on 29 November 1992. (131).
Sadly, the 'Sans Souci Hotel' or Moylan’s has been demolished, with the site now
occupied by an exclusive housing development that is roughly between Zealander
Street and Long Street in Clareville Avenue, and is on the bay front side of the
75 avenue. There is no longer a venue for people to enjoy gathering for food, music and
friendship. Patricia Moylan passed away in 2003 but the wonderful Mavis Moylan
only recently died on the 18 March 2012 still residing in her beloved Sans Souci.
The erosion issues still plague the Sandringham Point, as if nature is trying to claim
back what it originally owned. One can only think about the ghosts of the people who
once lived and worked on the bayside point as you stand watching the ebb and flow
of the tide…..

77 In Conclusion
Finally, the exploration of the lives of the men and their families, their times of fun
and enjoyment, their hard work and tragedy, their times at the Pub on the Point is
finished. I wonder what will happen to the site, now that the ocean is again trying to
reclaim its land. I wonder what someone will discover about Sandringham Point in
the next hundred years. Will resources still be accessible for researchers, will the
digital age be able to the keep the newspapers in a viable form or will the history of
such sites become transient and forgotten. I have found the resources available at
Trove to have been a wonderful help to the researcher of social history. I would love
to be still around to see what the future will bring for my children and their children,
but I know they will have this research left to them.

79 Reminiscences
I had happy recollections of the pub, so I decided to interview some people regarding
their memories of the pub on the point at Sandringham. I sent out questionnaires to
my colleagues, friends and even my family and was astounded at the speed the
answers entered my email inbox, although in the case of some of the people from
the 1950’s I interviewed them as they did not use the Internet. Below is a selection
from those who contributed to my research.
1950’s and 1960’s
“My German mother vividly recalls her early life at Sans Souci where our family had
a farming holding near the corner of Fontainebleau and Napolean Streets back prior
to WW2. To this day, she clearly recalls events of that era …. Her memories are still
clear on Mick Moylan's pub and other activities where folk sold fish at the pub caught
off the nearby beach along with other "items".
Mo
“The pub was called Lousy Les’s when I used to go there with my husband Kevin
and friends. We were living at Miss Rankin’s in Banksia in 1957. We regularly went
there with Neville Doxy who lived in Rockdale and his girlfriend Denise and we used
Kev’s car to get there on weeknights. The car was a big old Ford, a 1930 or 1940’s
model and would all climb in to go to the pub. Denise lived in Hollywood Street
Monterey, so we always picked her up on the way.I remember they had night
wrestling on Monday nights, which was a big drawcard at that time. They used 44
gallon drums alight with wood fires outside in winter to warm your selves in the beer
garden, these kept the area lovely and warm. There were sometimes big bands and
there would be dancing.The drink of choice for the men was beer and the ladies
80 always drank Pimm’s No 1 Cup. It was a fun place to catch up with friends and was a
cheap night out for a young married couple. “
Shirley (My mum)
“Mick Moylan's was named after Mick Moylan the owner of the pub down there which
in later years was owned by Rolly Tasker. After a session you could run the boat up
close to the pub which opened at 10am. Those days pubs closed at 6pm. When
pubs were allowed to stay open till 10pm you could go to Mick Moylan's and watch
the early years of rock and roll developing and see the Allen bros ( the Late Peter
Allen, the other part of the Allen Bros who started off in a talent quest at the Allawah
Pub ), Booka Hyland, Johhny Reb and Ralph Stock on the drums.”
Jewgaffer
1970’s
“My neighbour at Hurstville Grove made toffee apples and sold them down at Mick
Moylan’s when we were kids.”
Steve
“Mick Moylan’s was our venue (1975-1979) after university trials and tribulations,
whenever we had access to a car or petrol money for someone who did. We would
rush home from North Sydney on a Friday night, often in my friend’s silver Toyota
Celica and zoom down to Mick’s. We were a group of six female students. We
always went inside, where there was live bands, dancing and a smorgasbord of boys
to dance with….fun til the place closed at midnight (Due to residential neighbours
surrounding the venue). We also went on Saturday afternoon sport for heart
rechargers after the game. We never went Saturday night’s…..we would be off at
parties held by the boys we had meet the night before at Mick’s.
81 We sometimes ate the BBQ food, mostly we had nibbles with drinks….the drink of
choice early in my time there was a Harvey Wallbanger, moving on in later years to a
more sophisticated Scotch and Coke.
It was always so much fun, wildly good fun, lots of laughs, dancing, singing and the
occasional drink. It was always such a relaxed place, not a meat market; boats
would pull up on the beach, passengers go and get a drink and relax by the water’s
edge. I remember the open fires in winter…..the place to be on a Friday night,
summer or winter!”
Maria. R
“The year was 1977….pool, beers and an open BBQ to cook your own steak…a
novelty at the time….good memories!”
Maria. L.
“Hi Karen, here are my answers, as far as I can remember......I first went to Mick
Moylan’s in 1977 with work friends. I did not live in the area and worked at the State
Bank of NSW at Surry Hills, but most of my colleagues lived in the St George area. It
was a regular place for us to go and would often see bands there, but for the life of
me I cannot remember what their names were. I didn’t go there with my family, rather
it was with my friends for drinks and a chat then off to a local club. I didn’t really go to
the Beer Garden mostly we stayed inside the pub. We were usually dressed up in
going out clothes, as we would kick on from there. I never swam, fished or sailed at
the beach, but we would eat there, sometimes from a set menu and sometimes from
the “Choose and Cook (BBQ) Your Own Meat and Salad Bar”. My lasting memory of
Mick Moylan’s is it being our favourite haunt and a great place for drinks with friends.”
Alana
82 “I think it was about 1973 the first time I ever went to Mick Moylan’s. It wasn’t a
regular place for me to go but it was a great backup place if we were looking for a
place that was not Northies! I unfortunately never saw any bands there. I went there
with my friends at this time and later in the mid 80’s I went there with my young
family. It was very family friendly with kid’s meals and a barbeque from memory
where you could cook your own. There was a great kid friendly area too, where the
kids could play, always had a great time with a family get together at Mick’s. I usually
wore going out clothes and I never swam, sailed or fished there at the beach. My
lasting memory of the place though, remains to this day, as when I had a massive
blue with an ex-boyfriend there...lots of people in the pub at the time ...I couldn’t wait
to leave! Hope these few words provide something for your interest Karen.”
Jann
“I remember going to Mick Moylan’s in the 1970’s, even though I was under age. I
had to stay in the Beer Garden where families could sit in the sun, with the oldies
drinking beer and shandies, the kids drinking homemade Pub lemon squash in long
glasses with pink striped waxed straws that would go mushy as you lingered over
your drink. You would swim in Botany Bay and sit in damp cossies in the late
afternoon sun. Some of my friends sailed near there and we go back and sit in the
Beer Garden after a day’s sailing. In September 1979 I finally turned eighteen and
could enter the hallowed doors of the pub. It became a regular Saturday/Sunday
afternoon stop coming back from the beach at Eloura. Sandy feet, sunburned noses,
crocheted cossies and sarongs, the evening air would have the mingled scents of
Reef Oil Tanning Lotion and Aerogard. Some of my friends entered the Miss Beach
Girl competition, but you had to be brave to parade in skimpy bikinis amidst the
cheering, booing and catcalls. In winter we would go back there after netball, for
drinks and dinner, always certain we would meet up with friends there. One Grand
Final afternoon, we celebrated our teams win sweaty and noisily in the dining area
throwing our netball bibs up into the ceiling fans. The boys used to cook the meat, all
standing in a row, beer in hand, whilst the girls sat and chatted with white wines or
bottled wine coolers. I still remember the taste of BBQ’d sole and salad! I was sad
when the site was sold off, the old Pub torn down and a housing estate built. Mick
83 Moylan’s will always linger in my memory as a place of relaxed fun enjoyed with
friends.”
Karen
“We used to go there on Sundays after soccer and would more often than not be
there all day. I used to go to Shades on Sunday afternoons as well. It was packed
and definitely the place to be. Mick's was just a great place to catch up with friends
over a few drinks (and then some). People would park their boats off there and come
in for drinks/supplies. I think the introduction of RBT and the proximity of the pub to
regular transport may have contributed to its demise. I remember people
complaining about the police setting up RBT in the same street (Clareville Ave). The
place was definitely targeted on a Sunday. Because people couldn't drive they went
elsewhere (or just got older and stayed at home like me).
Mum's sister used to go there when it was Lousy Les's but no stories to tell”.
Mel
“Mick’s was to place to go in the late 70’s, usually Wednesday nights and Sunday
afternoons. We ate there once or twice but mainly went there for social drinks. I used
to go there with my boyfriend (now husband) and our friends. There were various
parties held there in later years, when it was a quiet place, less raging. I remember
one fancy dress birthday party we attended there in the later 1980’s. We always had
a good time at Mick’s!”
Christine
84 “Mick Moylans … go back to my parent’s day. Mick's (Sans Souci Hotel) was where
we used to go as a whole family -Dad could go up into the pub and we could play on
the beach, I did the same with my kids ... they used to have bands on Sunday
arvos…. All tore down!!!!!!!!" Take paradise and put up another parking lot”
Narrell
“Mick Moylan’s on a sunny Sunday afternoon.....how good was that!”

“Mick Moylan’s down San Souci was similar... no dress regs, we used to go over by
boat, get smashed and boat it home again.”
Truckster
1980’s
“I first went to Mick Moylan’s in 1980, I was underage before then! I went there to
drink - why else? My first memory is the Christmas Eve of that year and going to
Mick’s to celebrate Chrissy with workmates from St George County Council. I went
there regularly during the 1980’s, it became regular - up to 3 to 5 times per week. I
saw comedians, for example Austen Tayshus during the period 1986-87, and
numerous DJ's in the Kurnell Room, including William Shakespeare (who was known
as a singer from the 1970's). I can't remember any bands, but there must have been
some. I remember the odd Beach Girl competition being very popular with the guys. I
always went to Mick’s with friends - from workmates, to old school friends, to
flatmates and assorted other friends. Most memorable is going there with the soccer
crowd, with the ladies team after a game on Sundays –this was a regular for us. The
Beer Garden - yes of course - the place to be on a Sunday afternoon after soccer,
85 sitting in the winter sun. My biggest memory about the place is getting drunk, once or
twice (or three or four hundred times). We normally wore shorts and thongs –when
we came there straight from the beach in summer, we never wore anything dressier
than jeans. I never really ate there Mick's was a place for drinking, pure and simple. I
do remember having a conversation with an old school mate about who made the
best hamburger at Micks and judged by other school mates - I won, of course! My
lasting memory is that it was somewhere you could go, in any state of undress that
you wanted, have a great time with as few or as many friends as you wanted, and
get drunk. It was a meeting place without pretentions, for all. Hope this helps - feel
free to ask anything else. Good luck!”

“My Cousins saw AC/DC at Mick Moylan’s in the 1980’s”
Unamed
“Mick’s….Sunday mornings, used to go there with my mate William before we went
to Northies at Cronulla to work our shifts. We would eat an early lunch there, usually
a steak on the BBQ. It was the only place to go to before work with my work mates.
Always a nice feel about the place, we bought oysters and prawns of a local bloke in
the mornings. If you knew friends with a boat, you would hitch a ride in. Some friends
bought an old boat and put an outboard on it, just so they had the cachet of pulling
up there in a boat. It was such an old clinker, it eventually sank! At Easter, especially
on Good Friday, we would all go there and have BBQs and go fishing. My late Uncle
Max, always had a good word about the place, he loved it there. I didn’t see any
bands there, because I was there in the mornings, but I think the Cockroaches used
to play there before they became the Wiggles. A great get together place; a shame
they tore it down….”
Grantley
86 “I first attended Mick Moylan’s in 1984 for a social occasion in the Beer Garden. It
was a regular place for me to go. The only live music I saw there was from a house
band whose name is forgotten. I went there with both friends and family. We would
go to the beach end and watch some boats come in. Then we would head to the
Bistro and get hot damper and drinks and catch up with anyone and everyone. I
loved the Beer Garden and the best night of the year was Christmas Eve. It was a
real event; everyone that you could possibly know would be there…Friends, family,
acquaintances. When I received my HSC results the whole year attended Micks and
we all celebrated and commiserated there together. I usually wore beach attire at
Mick’s, sometimes casual style clothes, jeans etc. I swam at Sandringham Beach
sometimes but would always put my feet in the water. I ate at either the set menu or
BBQ whenever I was there and I always ordered the hot damper and butter. My
lasting memory of the pub was it was the best thing ever; not too rough or too
sophisticated. It had a homely feel that allowed friends to meet, particularly on
Sunday afternoons. Great times and I miss the place as there is nothing out in the
market place that has the same feel.”

“My first memory of the Saints was watching the 1985 Grand Final down at Mick
Moylans in Dolls Point”

“I can remember two St George footballers , the Toga brothers, they were always a
fixture there when I went.”
Steve
“In 1987, Mick’s was the place to be the day your HSC results came out…it was by
mail in those days. I went to St George Girls and we and the Sydney Tech boys met
there for HSC celebrations or commiserations. We also went there the day of your
87 last HSC exam, you kept going over a few weeks as your friends all finished their
exams.
I met my future husband’s friends there the night after our first date in early 1991.
We also went on Sunday afternoons, drinking our West Coast Coolers in the car in
the carpark, as cheap pre-drinks, then went inside and sat on one or two drinks all
night. You always had a designated driver so you could get there. We saw the
House Band sometimes, but mainly sat outside on the summer nights.”

Memories of Mick Moylans:
There is an famous quote saying “if you can remember the 1960’s you weren’t really
there”. The same applies to Mick Moylan’s and anybody that remembers Mick
Moylan’s didn’t really drink enough. So everybody remembers going to Mick
Moylan’s, but not too many people would remember being there, or more importantly,
getting home.
For me, Mick Moylans was the unofficial school reunion held on Christmas Eve for
many years. People I had gone to school with, but hadn’t seen for twelve months
would appear like distance travellers drawn to a symbolic event (and given the
calendar date), not dissimilar to the birth of the baby Jesus. However instead of there
being three wise men, farm animals, a tradesmen and a pregnant woman, sadly
Mick Moylan’s didn’t have the wise men. I’m also sure that after the night, there were
soon to be a few more pregnant women thanks to other tradesmen at the tavern and
their parents would soon become very familiar with the Lords name upon discovery
of the news.
Needless to say Christmas Eve was, for many years, the biggest event of the year.
However for hundreds of late teens / 20 something’s, Christmas Day was not so
enjoyable.
88 A more sobering memory was meeting at Mick Moylan’s after receiving our HSC
results. We were sitting around discussing our next step in life when one of our
friends started playing with a cigarette lighter. Unfortunately this friend had an afro
like something out of the Jackson’s (the early years), oily and unwashed and
unbeknown to him, the lighter turned up high. Needless to say the hair went up in
flames, there were some pants shattering and a good laugh, but fortunately no
serious damage was done. I have not been in touch with the friend for many years,
but I understand he is now a highly respected Sydney Urologist (with a new
hairstyle).
Damian
“I went there in the period from 1988-1991 and I remember it closing down with
regret. It was the only place on a Sunday afternoon to go to, specifically. A good
music site, saw bands there as well as the house band, the Hoodo Gurus and Mental
as Anything to name two.
Al a carte dinning, with a quick meal to catch up with friends on a sunny day. Some
of the guys we went out with had boats and we would go by boat to Mick’s and
spend the afternoon there.
A good place with a great vibe, similar age people catching up- the only place to be
on a Sunday!
Justine
“We used to go there after the beach in our bikinis and sarongs in summer; in winter
we would be in the big back room with the open fire. It was the place to go to; you
could always find a friend there.”
Felicity
89 “One Tuesday night each month, we had a club meeting to supposedly discuss the
running of the club. All club members were welcome to attend and the usual venue
was the old Mick Moylan’s Pub at Sans Souci, in reality it was a chance for
everybody to have a beer and a chat. In the end, it was a wonderfully creative
environment which really did bind us together as a club.”
Adam
“When dad passed away we scattered his ashes in the water out from Pilgrims
Beach at Sans Souci near where the old Mick Moylan’s Hotel stood.”
Glenn
“Hoodoo Gurus remember when I saw the guys live at an invite only gig at Mick
Moylan’s hotel at San Souci in 90's.....that was the week Dave cut his hair
short....was an awesome night”
Margie
“In place of Mick Moylan's there is a nice gated retirement village with oldies waiting
to call the police, mace you, taser you or shoot you at the drop of a hat or a Charlton
Heston western.”
Slowman
