Callan Park

In 1839, Crown Solicitor and Police Magistrate John Ryan Brenan made a series of purchases to acquire the Callan Park land, which he named Garry Owen Estate.

The precinct, including several individual buildings and historic rock carvings were listed on the NSW State Heritage Register in July 2008.

[1] In 1918 the Government of New South Wales purchased the house and land of Broughton Hall, Lilyfield, adjacent to the original "Callan Park" property.

[5] In 2017 the Inner West Council called for "the long awaited adoption of its award-winning Callan Park Master Plan more than five years after it was first handed over to the State Government."

He also stated that "with Sydney University vacating the Kirkbride complex local people will rightly be concerned that those magnificent sandstone buildings are about to become derelict.

[6] Callan Park was used as a primary location for the fictional colony 'Port Victory' in the 2023 period TV drama The Artful Dodger.
