Sunbury has long celebrated its rich heritage that traces back at least 40,000 years. The original inhabitants of the region are the Wurundjeri who’s lands expanded from Cranbourne to Mount Macedon.
European settlers first became aware of Sunbury in 1824, when explorers Hamilton Hume and William H. Hovell led an expedition from Sydney to Geelong and through the Great Dividing Range.
The satellite town of Sunbury grew relatively quickly, spurred by the opening of the railway station in 1859 that linked the township to the Melbourne to Bendigo train line.
Sunbury wasn’t built in a day, but, with careful and considered planning, Sunbury has potential to become a leading centre of education and employment, while retaining and protecting the natural landscape that makes it unique.
Described as a ‘family home’ when it’s foundation stone was laid in 1874 by Mrs W.J. Clarke, Rupertswood the country’s most lavish mansion at the time and has since been the location of many significant events, both in Sunbury and the nation’s history, including the ‘birth’ of The Ashes.
Rupertswood passed hands twice in the 1920’s, first to industrialist and inventor Hugh Victor McKay in 1925 and then pastoralist William Naughton the following year, before the Roman Catholic Salesian Order ultimately purchased the mansion in 1927. The site has been an educational facility since 1929.
The rivalry between the Australian and English has a long history and for the most part has been fuelled by good sport and humour. A key event in shaping this rivalry occurred in 1882 when the Australian cricket team beat the English for the first time.
Lady Janet Clarke had one of the bails from the match and the ashes placed in a terracotta perfume urn. In a humorous nod to Sir Reginald’s obituary and Bligh’s subsequent pledge, she presented the urn containing the ashes to the captain, giving life to the Ashes myth.
In the four years from 1972–1975, Sunbury would attract over a hundred thousand rock fans with bands from as far away as Britain, including Deep Purple and Queen.
The Sunbury Rock Festival, staged on a farm, became the stuff of legends. With many live albums sold and a feature film named ‘Sunbury’, the event would eventually make its way into Victoria’s Music Hall of Fame. The iconic festival was hailed as Australia’s answer to Woodstock, the Sunbury Music Festival. While short lived, the festival put Sunbury on the map and showcased their love of the land, which locals still hold dear.
