Casula is a suburb of Sydney located 35 kilometers south-west of the Sydney central business district. Casula was first settled by farmers in the 19th century. One of these agriculturalists was Richard Guise, who gave his farm the name “Casula”. During the World War I, an Australian Imperial Forces recruitment and training reserve was located here- this residency is now reflected by the name of one of its major streets, “Reserve Road”. This camp became briefly notorious in 1916 when a large mob of soldiers rebelled against the strict training regimen. It marched on Liverpool, looted several pubs, hijacked a few trains and then continued their drunken rioting in the city.
