Robb arrived in Western Australia in 1830 and took up land south of Fremantle. During the next twelve months Smith was actively engaged in establishing Robb's farm. In a letter dated 27 August 1830, he gives his address as Hamilton Hill. The origin of the name, and whether it was Robb or Smith who did the naming, remains uncertain but the area has been known as such ever since.[|[2]] <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">In 1860 Charles Alexander Manning bought 364ha of Robb's land, and six years later built Davilak House for his son Lucius Manning.[|[3]] The house of twelve rooms, was built using convict labour[|[4]] and was owned by the Manning family until they abandoned it in the late [|1950s]. It burnt down in 1960, and after this the [|Shire of Cockburn] took over the administration of the whole estate. <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">A second homestead was built in 1920 by the eldest daughter of Lucius Manning, Azelia Ley. She had married John Morgan Ley in 1900, and after he died in 1927 she continued to maintain the family farm.[|[3]] This house became derelict after Azelia died in 1954, but was restored by the Historical Society of Cockburn in 1983 and now serves as a comprehensive Azelia Ley Homestead Museum of artifacts pertaining to the Cockburn district. <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 3;">**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13.5pt;">Recreational: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Manning Reserve is a 900-acre (3.6 km2) reserve in southwestern Hamilton Hill.

This building was restored by the [|Cockburn Council] and prominent residents in 1983.[|[6]] [] 16 places that have been formally listed as historically significant within or immediately adjacent to the study area. Of these, six are listed on the State Register: Manning Estate, Newmarket Hotel, Randwick stables, Robb Jetty chimney, South Fremantle power station and the South Beach horse exercise area. The other sites include historic residences, significant trees, a statue of C.Y.     O’Connor and two ship wrecks (the Diana and the James). The most significant historical site is the Manning Estate (originally referred to as     Davilak and later Azelia Ley) which has been variously listed on a number of      heritage inventories, most notably the Register of the National Estate, State Register and the National Trust. The ** Manning Estate ** comprises one restored turn-of-the-century dwelling and associated out buildings (** Azelia Ley Homestead **), archaeological remains of two previous dwellings (Davilak and the Old Farm) and historical gardens. The ** Manning Lake ** (originally named ** Davilak Lake **) and floral surrounds are also significant natural features. This place is a valuable archaeological resource that has the potential to yield important information and hidden secrets from our early colonial past. The most enduring historic theme of the ** Cockburn coast is horse racing ** and training. The Cockburn foreshore has been used as horse exercise area since the early stages of settlement and it continues through till today. The nearby Randwick stables continue to operate as they have for more than a century. These important examples of living history should be encouraged and celebrated.

It contains a number of heritage sites relating to the long occupation of the estate by the Manning Family. This precinct is the most significant area in terms of its natural and cultural history, which are variously registered on     the Register of the National Estate, the State Heritage Register and the National Trust: ∞ Newmarket Precinct: This precinct contains the Newmarket Hotel and the Randwick stables, both of which are on the State Heritage Register and continue to be used for their original purpose. The precinct also contains a     heritage-listed building on Healy Road and some significant pine and palm trees; ∞ South Fremantle Village: This precinct borders the Bradkin site which contains a heritage-listed limestone office. ∞ Foreshore: The foreshore is on the State Register for its long-term usage as a      horse training area. ** Figure 1: European heritage map  ** ** Meth   ** ** survey of original locations at Hamilton Hill 1831 **** odology and reporting ** ** Chronology of the European heritage  ** ** Date Event: ****// January 1830 October 1830 //** The European history of the northern Cockburn coastal area began soon after the establishment of the Swan River Colony. Thomas Peel’s attempt at a thriving village, just to the south at Clarence had been a dismal failure, but those men who took up land in Hamilton Hill were investors rather than settlers. The Leda commanded by Captain George Robb anchored at Owen Anchorage, just south of Catherine Point. Captain Robb takes up a 2000 acre land grant, and unloaded stock, grain and building materials for the establishment of a farm. Robb left Sidney Smith behind to tend to his investments in the new colony. Smith builds a     farm house called Hamilton Hill, from which the district takes its name. ** Image taken from Berson 1978 p20 - survey of original locations at  ** ** Hamilton Hill 1831  ** Charles McFaull assigned a grant of land near the coast close to Robb’s grant. He constructed a house, well and out houses and established the colony’s first vineyard. **// Late 1830s   //** McFaull then went into publishing and established the Perth Gazette which he ran from his Hamilton Hill home.

The road retraced two original tracks: Old Clarence Road (now Cockburn Road) and Dunnage’s Track (now Russell Road). The road was serviced by seven wells along its 46 mile length. **// 1854: //** Hennery Manning directs his younger brother Charles Manning to move to the Swan River Colony to represent the interests of the Manning Family. The Manning’s were a shipping merchant family from High Holborn, London. The family buys up land around Davilak Lake. **// 1858 //** Charles Manning, now acting as the French Consul and leading merchant, builds a 10-room farm house north of Davilak Lake, to supply his grand residence in Fremantle, Manning Hall. The produce from the farm, fruit, vegetables, meat and condiments graced the table at receptions of visiting ships and other guests. **// 1866 //** The Davilak Homestead is built by Charles Manning for his son Lucius and his new wife. This homestead located to the south of Davilak Lake comprised a solid limestone house with 14 rooms and a shingled roof. The limestone was quarried on the Manning Estate and the timber, including the Yorkshire flagstones that made the kitchen floor, were pit sawn on site. **// 1869 //** Charles Manning dies, leaving behind a massive estate that stretched from the coast to Bibra lake and down to Coogee. **// 1887 //** Mannings lose a large part of their estate when the Government rejects their claim to George Robb’s original land grant. **// 1892 //** Lucuis Manning dies and the Manning Estate is run by his son Alfred **//. //**   **// 1896 //**** __ The Davilak Murder Mystery __ ** - Afghan cameleer Abdul Hoosin found dead at // Lampey’s Hollow at Davilak //.

Owen Anchorage was jammed with tall-masted sailing ships and people poured into the area to camp on any available land. ** The Robb Jetty ** abattoir is in full swing by the turn of the century: the slaughter houses of Forrest, Emanuel and Co and Conner, Doherty and Durack literally fed the metropolitan area and Goldfields. These companies were so lucrative they formed a monopoly that no one could compete with. They were called the Kimberley Ring because they held large pastoral properties in the Kimberly and controlled the shipping of all stock to Owen Anchorage. They also had an interest in a wholesale butcher, so they had the whole industry sewn up. Not surprisingly they were viewed with some suspicion, particularly given that one of the main proprietors, Alexander Forrest, was the brother of the Premier, Sir John Forrest.

Natural threats: ∞  inclement weather, including high winds, storm surges and flooding. The destructive forces of the wind have served to both expose and conceal archaeological material; and wild vegetation, particularly species with invasive roots, can rip through ruins from below causing irreparable damage to archaeological features. Human Threats: vandals - vacant sites are subject to continual vandalism and graffiti; and development - any development will need to have strict controls and a light footprint on the landscape. ** Proposed heritage management outcomes  ** ** The Manning Estate: ** one of the oldest and most significant places of cultural heritage significance in the Cockburn area. The following recommendations are made: ** 1. Listings: ** The Manning Estate and parts of it have been listed variously on a     number of heritage listings, such as Davilak House, Azelia Ley Homestead and the Manning Park and tuart trees. ** 2. Archaeological survey: ** There has been no archaeological assessment of the ruins associated with the early phase occupation **. ** An archaeological survey is     required to establish the nature and extent of the early buildings of the Manning Estate. ** South Fremantle beach horse exercise area: Site 16120: ** also includes C.Y. O’Connor statue, ** site 17006 ** The South Fremantle beach horse exercise area is an unusual listing in that it     pertains to the usage of a place rather that the built fabric. The horse exercise area is still being used regularly as a horse training area by     the local trainers from the Patterson, Randwick and Johnston stables. Trainers come from Jandakot to train on the beach. ** 1. Continued usage ** : This continued usage as a horse training area is a     significant example of living history for the Cockburn and South Fremantle area. Although the training is regularly conducted early in the mornings it attracts appreciative onlookers which, in turn, promote the unique heritage value of the place and its association with horse racing. ** It is recommended ** that ways in which to interpret and celebrate the horse training should be encouraged, such as through annual festivals, re-enactments of horse races, and public art. ** 6. Link to Randwick stables: ** The nearby heritage-listed Randwick stables forms a link with the horse beach area that should not be ignored. Although the two have been listed separately the major users of the horse beach area come from the Randwick stables. They walk a trail from the stables to the beach regularly. ** It is recommended ** that a designated horse trail or trails from Randwick stables to the beach be established and signposted. ** 7. C. Y. O’Connor statue: ** This statue commemorates a significant person and a     significant event. The statue is located in the ocean just off the shore, which is     not the most stable of environments. ** Randwick stables Site 09242: ** Also includes palm and pine trees ** site 12989 ** This place is a significant part of living history associated with the dominant theme of horse racing and training. ** Conservation ** : Provisions for the ongoing conservation and management have been made in the Randwick Stables Conservation Plan. The conservation plan was undertaken by Main Roads WA as part of the preparation to dispose of     the place as part of the proposed Roe Highway Fremantle Eastern Bypass. It     was found that the place should be placed on the State Register of Heritage Places. ** 4. Associations with other heritage places: ** Randwick stables are associated with the South Beach horse training area. Recommendations to form a horse trail between the two have been made under the South Fremantle horse exercise site. Marks House Site 10185 at nearby Lot 1 Davilak Road is associated with the same Marks family of Randwick stables, and the usage and heritage values of both places are linked. ** Robb Jetty chimney Site 03211 ** : Also considers Moreton Bay fig trees ** site 17010 ** The Robb Jetty chimney is all that is left of the Robb Jetty abattoir site. The chimney is an important historic landmark and is extremely important in heritage research. ** 1. Archival interpretation: ** Given that much of the Robb Jetty abattoir site was demolished prior to any historic or archaeological work being undertaken, archival research should be undertaken to form a view of how the site looked and worked. Primary source materials or historic documents represent the foundation of any historic research project, particularly one that is attempting to identify and interpret the past built environment ** It is recommended ** that an archival interpretation plan should be undertaken. However, an exhaustive archival research program can be a long and costly exercise, so it is proposed that a base study is undertaken to gather as much information as possible, identify gaps in knowledge and quantify the extent of     any further research required. The study should focus on a search of the most relevant sources of information, such as diaries of the early settlers of the district, police records, government records, company records, church records and newspaper accounts. ** 2. Site interpretation: ** The data from the archival study came be used to further interpret the chimney site, for example in the form of on-site interpretative plaques and historic photo displays. ** 3. Cultural area ** : The chimney site as it stands has no immediate context with the surrounding landscape, because the rest of the abattoir has been demolished. Developing the chimney into a cultural area such as a park area may soften its starkness in the current landscape. This area can also incorporate the interpretative material in a more user-friendly environment. ** 5. Site 17010 Moreton Bay fig trees: ** These trees were part of the Robb Jetty abattoir and are located in the vicinity of the Robb Jetty chimney. It is suggested that these trees be incorporated into the Robb Jetty chimney cultural area. ** 6. Approvals: ** The Robb Jetty chimney is on the State Register and is protected under the provisions of the // Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990 //. Any proposed demolition, relocation, subdivision, amalgamations, alterations, additions or new development must be in harmony with the places cultural heritage values and be referred to the Heritage Council for approval. ** South Fremantle power station  ** ** Site 03381  ** ** 1. Usage ** : This site has been registered as a prominent building with a strong functionalist structural industrial form. However, its customised nature makes the building and its surrounds difficult to incorporate into a new type of usage. The building is currently abandoned and has been heavily vandalised. ** It is recommended that ** ways in which this building and surrounds can be refurbished for some community usage should be fully explored. Any refurbishment and usage should interpret the past industrial usage in some way. ** Newmarket Hotel Site 00504 ** This hotel has been listed as a prominent local landmark and community focal area. ** 1. Usage: ** This building continues to be used for its original purpose, and this should continue for as long as practical. ** 22 Healy Road Site 02414 ** An archival record of this place has been undertaken by owners Main Roads WA. ** It is recommended ** that no further action is required in respect of this place. ** Shipwrecks:   ** There are two ship wrecks within the waters of the Cockburn coast project area. The identification and management of Cockburn’s maritime heritage should be conducted by the Maritime Museum under the requirements of the Maritime Archaeology Act 1973 and the Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976. ** Other heritage and issues:  ** ∞ ** Owen Anchorage **** : ** according to the historic map and archival sources this was a significant area in the early settlement of the area. ** It is recommended that ** the role it played in housing a multitude of ships should be recognised in the form of interpretative signage. ∞ ** Robb Jetty **** : ** the original jetty was the focal point of the settlement of the northern Cockburn coast and its long association with the meat trade. The jetty was the first obvious landmark in the area. The jetty along, with the Robb Jetty chimney, formed recognisable markers in the historic landscape that assist in the interpretation of historical photographs and early maps. Latest aerial photography shows that part of the jetty still exists under the water some way off the current watermark. ** It is recommended ** that this jetty should be recognised for example through heritage listing, and the archaeological remains of the jetty should be investigated. This should be done in association with the WA Maritime Museum. ∞ ** Afghan camps near Davilak **** : ** the role the Afghans played in the early settlement of the colony has been overlooked by many historians. ** It is recommended ** that this interesting phase of history be further researched. ∞ ** Gun emplacement ** : an historic gun emplacement is located in Emplacement Crescent. This emplacement is all that is left of the original four that stood on the hill. According to local sources further emplacements maybe located on the nearby hills. ** It is recommended ** that the gun emplacement located at Emplacement Crescent be further researched and placed on the heritage list for assessment. ** Schedule 2 Evidence on record  ** ** Sources of evidence  ** ** Table 1: Sources of oral historical accounts specific to the Cockburn  ** ** district  ** ** Date Recorder Item No Project  ** 1905- 1996 Interviewed by John Price Interview with Annie Baker (nee Davenport) OH2825/9 Cockburn Oral History Project 1915- 1996 Interviewed by John Price Interview with Adeline Russell-Davison OH2825/11 Cockburn Oral History Project 1917- 1996 Interviewed by John Price Interview with Wallace Leslie Hagan OH2825/3 Cockburn Oral History Project 1928- 2005 Interviewed by John Ferrell Interview with Alexander Donald Taylor OH3520 WA Parliament Oral History Project 1921- 1996 Interviewed by John Price Interview with Stan Sawle, market gardener OH2825/ Cockburn Oral History Project 1926- 2001 Interviewed by Leonie Stella Interview with Patrick Hume OH3231 Cockburn Aboriginal Oral History Project 1922-1996 Interviewed by John Price Interview with Jack Bavich OH2825/10 Cockburn Oral History Project 1928- 1996 Interviewed by John Price Interview with Ray Lees, Mayor OH2825/6 Cockburn Oral History Project 1925- 1992 Interviewed by Rod Moran Interview with Jackie Wong Sue OH2511/19 Rockingham Oral History Project 1934- 2001 Interviewed by Leonie Stella Interview with Augustine (Aussie) Hart OH3237 Cockburn Aboriginal Oral History Project 1929- 1996 Interviewed by John Price Interview with Thelma Bertucci (nee Bishop) and Norman Bishop OH2825/8 Cockburn Oral History Project 1934- 2001 Interviewed by Leonie Stella Interview with Thomas Henry Ford OH3233 Cockburn Aboriginal Oral History Project 1926- 1992 Interviewed by Rod Moran Interview with Bill Ritchie OH2511/37 Rockingham Oral History Project 1935- 2001 Interviewed by Leonie Stella Interview with Joan Winch OH3239 Cockburn Aboriginal Oral History Project 1935- 2001 Interviewed by Leonie Stella Interview with Sooby Abraham OH3236 Cockburn Aboriginal Oral History Project 1931- 1996 Interviewed by John Price Interview with Frank Favazzo and Mrs Sarina Mangano (nee     Favazzo OH2825/12 Cockburn Oral History Project      1939- 2001 Interviewed by Leonie Stella Interview with Jean Lewis OH3235 Cockburn Aboriginal      Oral History Project      1943- 2001 Interviewed by Leonie Stella Interview with Beth Woods OH3238 Cockburn Aboriginal      Oral History Project      1948- 2001 Interviewed by Leonie Stella Interview with Marie Taylor OH3234 Cockburn Aboriginal      Oral History Project      1943- 1992 Interviewed by Rod Moran Interview with Bob Lynch OH2511/28 Rockingham Oral      History Project      1957- 2001 Interviewed by Leonie Stella Interview with Kim John Scott OH3232 Cockburn Aboriginal      Oral History Project      1961- 2001 Interviewed by Leonie Stella Interview with Christine Kaye Coyne OH3240 Cockburn Aboriginal Oral History Project      1912- 1979 Interviewed by Jean Teasdale Interview with Sir David Brand, Premier OH150 Interview with D.
