Donnelly Road
This is a 1924 road. A 1955 council map shows an Elfin Street which appears to have later become part of Donnelly Road. This road may have been named after a Donnelly family who lived in the area in the early 1920s. Agnes Cecilia Donnelly (nee Ryan) had the Lakeview Guest House and her husband Harold Augustine Donnelly ran a dairy farm and orchard belonging to landowner Mr David Israel. The guesthouse was built to acomodate visitors to Mr Isreal's property. Although they were originally Cessnock residents, the Donnelly children attended Wangi Wangi School during their time at Lake Macquarie.
