Funeral director in Macquarie Fields


Macquarie Fields was named by surveyor James Meehan, a transported Irish rebel who rose to Surveyor-General, in honour of Governor Lachlan Macquarie. Macquarie Fields House, the Regency mansion Samuel Terry built in the 1840s, still stands and is listed on the Register of the National Estate. The suburb is surrounded by bushland and lies 38 kilometres south-west of the Sydney CBD.
