First Street
First Street was named in 1908 and is believed to be the first street in Booragul. It runs from Awaba House, the first permanent residence, to Teralba. The Braye family was the last private owners of Awaba House. Dr Helen Braye and her solicitor husband Frederick Street DSO (WW1) lived there. The Methodist Church was built in 1927. Edwards Park was named in honour of the late Mr Walter Edwards, who worked for the establishment of the Teralba Sailing Club (Source: LMH 22 December 1977).
