Cabarita is an inner-western suburb of Sydney. Breakfast Point is located about 16 kilometers west of the Sydney CBD, in the local government area of the City of Canada Bay. Cabarita is a picturesque area on the Parramatta River, north of Concord. It is an Aboriginal word that very appropriately means by the water.
The first resident in the suburb was David Anderson. He was a private soldier in the NSW Corps who was given land in this area in 1795. Cabarita Park was not always known as such, being originally called Correy’s Garden. It was first opened for public use in 1880. The pavilion from which Governor-General Lord Hopetoun proclaimed the Federation of Australia in 1901 was not always located here either. It was moved from Centennial Park to Cabarita Park to create attraction in the suburb.
Historically, the suburb mainly was made up of swampland and heavy industry facilities. Eventually, residential developments replaced the industrial buildings and the swamps were reclaimed to develop sprawling golf courses.
Nowadays, Cabarita and the adjacent Breakfast Point area have many newly developed residential communities located along the beautiful waterfront. These developments proudly boast many recreational outlets such as playing fields, gyms, golf courses and restaurants.
