After retiring to Killcare, she researched genealogy and various historical topics. In the years prior to her passing in 2022, Beverley researched and wrote the significant historical book about the origins of place names in her local area of Bouddi on the Central Coast, "SIGNPOSTS TO THE PAST - STORIES OF PLACES AND STREETS OF BOUDDI PENINSULA". Her daughter Myfanwy Webb and granddaughter Kalena Webb, have now completed this to publication for her.
EDITOR, PHOTOGRAPHY Dr Myfanwy Jane Webb, BSc, Hons, PhD. When Mum was ill in hospital, not knowing if she could hear me, I told her I would finish her book for her. She has given my daughter and I the priceless experience of feeling like the three of us are working together on her book, after she has passed. Kalena and I would often say to each other "Yes, Nan would love this". Privileged to provide photographs, edit and add Indigenous content, I am very proud of Mum's significant work and my daughter's artistic talent and precision eye for detail.My career as medical researcher, animal behaviourist and biologist has resulted in the publication of books, book chapters, academic papers and magazine articles.
Kalena Violet Webb, BA, GRAD DIP. I am a graduate in anthropology, Critical Indigenousstudies and an artist.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Signposts to the Past explores the fascinating ways places and streets have acquired their names within the Bouddi Peninsula, a coastal region bordering Broken Bay in New South Wales. Associated stories are told of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Historical images and present-day photographs illustrate the lives of people within this stunning coastal landscape.The Bouddi Peninsula lies on the north side of the entrance to Broken Bay where the majestic Hawksbury (Deerubin) River joins with the sea, on the east coast of Australia. The history begins with some place names given to the area by Indigenous Australian people before white settlement. Then, subsequent place names were given in the twentieth century. Only a few places named by the original Aboriginal people of the Bouddi area survive. In the twentieth century some Bouddi streets were named using Aboriginal words which were not of the area. Place names and street names all have a story to tell. For instance, Turo Park was named after Turo Downes a much-loved Aboriginal man who lived in the area for many years. The Peninsula includes the small communities of Hardys Bay, Killcare, Killcare Heights, Pretty Beach and Wagstaffe. Most of the area, however, is taken up by the 1532-hectare Bouddi National Park which begins at south MacMasters Beach and stretches to Box Head, about 10 kilometres in distance. Street names and places are presented alphabetically with historical details about their beginning and subsequent history. This book explores the fascinating ways places and streets have acquired their names within the stunning Bouddi Peninsula. Stories are told of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Illustrations include historical and present-day photographs. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
