N2 - The Werrington site (part of the Kingswood/Werrington campus) of the new University of Western Sydney has seen a fascinating progression of Australia's economic, social and recreational history. Names well known in colonial politics are linked with the site and those early days of European history mark the beginning of a sequence of colourful changes. As the years passed, sections of the original land grants were used for prize cattle and stud farming; a golf course; a motorcycle race track; an airstrip; a guesthouse; an iron merchant's; a hobby farm. The land has been used by the army; it has been the site of an elegant country house; vineyards; gardens; a boys' home; and, from 1989, a university campus.
