It is part of the suburb of North Bondi in the Waverley Council local government area.[1] It is sometimes referred to simply as "the northern headland of Bondi Bay."[2]
Ben Buckler is the location of the heritage-listed Ben Buckler Gun Battery, which was built in 1892 and subsequently buried; it was later excavated by the NSW Water Board and then reburied.[3][4] It is also the location of the heritage-listed Bondi Sewer Vent.[5]
Etymology
[edit]The first recorded use of the name was in 1831, when a land grant to Richard Hurd at North Bondi was described as being "...to a point called Ben Buckler."[2] Common theories about its name were set out in a research note issued by Waverley Council Library:[2]
- It is named after a convict, Benjamin Buckler or Ben Buckley, who lived locally with the Aboriginal people in 1810;
- A bushranger named Ben Buckley lived in a cave in the rocks at the northern end of Bondi Beach;
- Obed West (1807–1891) claimed that it was a corruption of an Aboriginal word.
