Lake Macquarie History

Dunbar Road

Dunbar Road, named in 1975, was extended from Edgeworth in 2005. Named from a LMSC street name list, Dunbar is a town in Scotland. It is interesting to note, "Dunbar' was also the name of a sailing ship, which was wrecked off Sydney South Head in 1857, resulting in the loss of 121 lives. This ship was named after its owner, Duncan Dunbar.
