Wybalena, Hunters Hill, New South Wales

Hunters Hill - Australia’s Oldest Garden Suburb 
by Beverley Sherry

One of the first residents of these marine villas and a commuter on the steam ferries was Charles Edward Jeanneret (1834-98), a leading pioneer of Hunter’s Hill. He arrived in 1857, the year he married Julia Ann Bellingham, whose family had bought the house on Lot 1 of Bordier’s estate. Charles and his wife moved into the prefab on Lot 2 just above the Bellinghams. Although both of these timber houses were eventually demolished, Jeanneret’s own legacy to Hunter’s Hill, in sandstone, has lasted: at least eighteen substantial houses built between 1858 and 1895.
 
As a developer Jeanneret may be conveniently grouped with the French, but despite his name, he was not European in the sense that the Jouberts, De Milhau, and Bordier were. His parents came from England, of French Huguenot descent, and pronounced their name ‘Jenneret’ (with a hard ‘t’). Charles was born in Sydney and was included in the centenary publication, Australian Men of Mark (1888) as ‘one of the successful among the native-born of New South Wales’. He was altogether more Anglo-Saxon and Australian than his Gallic neighbours in Hunter’s Hill and was a strong supporter of Sir Henry Parkes and Federation. None of the Jeanneret homes were given French names. Indeed the family had a strong attachment to the Australian Aboriginal name, Wybalena, which was retained for their main residences. This explains why there are two houses by that name today, 3 Jeanneret Avenue an 22 Woolwich Road, as well as the nearby Wybalena Road.
 
From the time of his arrival in Hunter’s Hill in 1857, Charles, Jeanneret began financing houses there, although most of his speculative building was in the period 1888-95. He lived in some of his houses, sold and rented others, and gave others to his children upon their marriages. While the Jouberts were oriented towards the Lane Cove River and the Figtree area, Jeanneret built more towards the Parramatta River and the middle and eastern part of the peninsula.
 
Many of his houses were marine villas, facing the water and intended to be seen from the water, which was, at that time, the main approach to the suburb. On the Parramatta side, there were Cambridge (19 Lyndhurst Crescent), Lyndcote (7 Stanley Road), and Glenview, Glencaim and Glenrock (21, 25, and 27 Glenview Crescent); on the Lane Cove side were Lugano and Meryla (7 and 9 Futuna Street) and Gomea (9 Crescent Street). Jeanneret’s own principal residence, Wybalena (3 Jeanneret Avenue), was built in 1874 on his thirty-acre estate, on one of the highest points of the peninsula with views from its tower over both the Lane Cove and Parramatta Rivers.
 
Jeanneret’s houses were built over a longer period than the Jouberts’ and show variations in style, with increasing ornamentation as the Victorian age progressed. Lyndcote, which dates from the year 1858, is decorated with the graceful Gothic bargeboards then fashionable, while the later houses have ornate cast-iron lace. The stone finish of the earlier houses is only slightly roughened, as with the Joubert houses, but oy the 1880s, architectural and economic trends resulted in the more picturesque and less time consuming rock-face finish.
 
In the late 1880s Jeanneret was financing two-storey villas and, in the early 1890s, single-storey houses with bay windows around the verandahs; stained glass was incorporated at front doors and on staircase landings. The most unusual of his buildings dates from 1878-79: two large conjoined houses built for letting, Waiwera and St Claire (9 Woolwich Road and 2 Wybalena Road). This massive edifice is  lightened by winding balustrades of iron lace and a delicate turret of slate pinnacled with iron-lace cresting. Like the Jouberts, Jeanneret contributed to the making of the suburb by successive subdivision of his land and also, as we shall see, by playing a major role in transport and municipal affairs. Also like the Jouberts, he helped the French clergy. When the Marist Fathers wished to expand to the eastern part of the peninsula in 1890, ‘their good Protestant friend, Mr Jeanneret’, sold them, for well below market value, a piece of the Wybalena Estate and was one of the most generous subscribers to the stone church they built there, the Church of Blessed Peter Chanel in Futuna Street (now Saint Peter Chanel).
 
The magnanimous Jeanneret had no monopoly, however, on prosperity. While he did not suffer three bankruptcies like Jules Joubert, he overextended himself in the last ten years of his life. He built eleven stone houses in the space of six years (1889-95) and the severe financial depression of 1893 hit him. After three withdrawn bankruptcy petitions, his estate was sequestrated in 1897, and when he died in 1898 the Jeanneret-Avenue Wybalena was heavily mortgaged. His widow lived in the smaller Wybalena (Woolwich Road) until her death in 1919, though evidently not in straitened circumstances according to the electoral roll, which lists her as a major property holder.
 
Despite Jeanneret’s personal fortunes, the fine stone houses he built contributed to the creation of the  suburb and they remain today some of the most expressive components of the historic environment. 

Wybalena

Wybalena was built by Charles Jeanneret, c1874-75, as a home for his large family. It is a large two storey symmetrically planned sandstone house with slate hipped roof. Two wings emanate from a central verandahed tower with cast iron trim. The tower is reached by a centrally located spiral cedar staircase. The house was extended from nine rooms in 1878 to fourteen rooms in 1879. In 1884 the house comprised sixteen rooms with two pavilions and a summer house on 25 acres of land. Jeanneret was responsible for the development of many houses on the southern side of Hunters Hill Peninsula. Wybalena has also functioned as the home of the vice chancellor of the University of Sydney (1967-8?). 

Other houses built at Hunters Hill by C.E. Jeanneret were: ‘Croissy’, ‘Summerville’ or ‘The Hut’, ‘Yerton’ now ‘The Chalet’, ‘Lyndcote’, ‘Glenrock’, ‘Glencairn’, ‘Willow Banks’ ‘Wingadee’, ‘Wybalena Cottage’, ‘Fernbank’, ‘Meryla’, ‘Lugano’, ‘Norwood’, ‘Brynestone’, ‘Herne’, ‘Gomea’, ‘Henley Cottage’ and two cottages were built on Wybalena estate for employees. 

Four homes were purchased from the Industrial Exhibition in Paris, 1854. 

Hunters Hill, now fashionable, understandably became known as the ‘French village’ – a characteristic added to by the arrival of the Marist Fathers further to the west. Much of the building work was done by the many northern Italian (and Swiss Italian) stonemasons brought out by the Jouberts and others, and who built also small stone cottages for themselves. 

When Charles Edward Jeanneret died the property was heavily mortgaged and in 1899 it was passed from the Bank of NSW to Thomas Buckland who held it until the major subdivision of 1918. For most of that time the house was occupied by a German wool buyer named Stoltenhoff. 

Arundel Orchard, director of the Sydney Conservatorium was the next occupant and many famous composers and musicians were guests during that period. 

Judge Kirby took over the property in the 1940s after it had fallen into disrepair. He undertook restoration and refurbishment. 

Next, the University of Sydney purchased the house in 1967 as the residence for the Vice Chancellor It was sold by the university in the early 1980’s and became a private residence. 

Most recently (2018) Wybalena was purchased by the Australian Ambassador to the US and former Treasurer, Joe Hockey. The price is understood to have been $8 million dollars. The surrounding land has been subdivided to the extent that the house now sits on a small parcel of land. 

The story of Wybalena

The late Wor. Bro. Charles Edward Jeanneret, first master of Lodge Hunters Hill, spent part of his boyhood at the Settlement [of Wybalena, Flinders Island] with his father, who was superintendent of the Settlement. The story of the name of the Settlement as told by the Wor. Bro. to his son some fifty years ago is now recounted by him in his father’s words. 

“In the early days of the Settlement of Van Diemens Land the Pioneers found a primitive race of people in occupation of the land. Cut off by water from Australia and the rest of the world for thousands of years this primitive race continued the customs of man appertaining to the Stone Age and were ignorant of the development taking place in the rest of the world. Consequently when deprived of their natural foods by the Settlement in what is known as Tasmania, these “primitive folk” had recourse to killing the young stock of the settlers in lieu of the natural food which had been destroyed or driven away. The killing of the stock was resented by the Settlers and the primitive folk were hunted and shot down by the Pioneers until such time as the Government of the day took steps to collect the “remnants of a passing race” and remove them to a peaceful settlement on Flinders Island named Wybalena, where they were cared for and found peace in that “resting place” in their later days.” 

I see the little Settlement of Wybalena sheltering in a corner of the cove of Flinders Island, where I spent my boyhood days with my father caring for the “remnants of a passing race” the “primitive people” the native race of Van Diemens Land. Pushed aside in the path of progress, hunted and shot down by Free Settlers and liberated convicts alike - now they are removed - now is this passing race of primitive people far removed from the trials and tribulations of their native land to their new found “resting place” Wybalena. 

As I hold my fishing line and run towards the cove, where fish so plentifully abound, I meet Trucanini -- “Ah Trucanini tell me what you mean, what black fellow mean, name Wybalena?” “That, Sir, that name mean - black fellow sit down here - by camp fire.” Ah, yes, quite so, black fellow sit down here by his camp fire. A primitive language, a primitive people, a primitive life - and so we have the translation in our more civilised customs. “I rest by my fireside”, my resting place, “my home”. 

And so they pass on - Trucanini and her primitive people pass on, squatting by their camp fire, resting by their fireside. But they have left us a name which shall not be forgotten, for I have named my home, my sons shall name their homes, aye, and peradventure my lodge shall name her daughter Lodge Wybalena.” 

 Truganini (Trugernanner, Trukanini, Trucanini) (1812?–76), Aboriginal woman, was the daughter of Mangana, leader of a band of the south-east tribe.

Paramatta Steamship Company
Taken from “Parramatta Ferries” by Gregory Blaxell 

In 1866, Charles Edward Jeanneret became a shareholder in Manning’s company, now called the Parramatta and River Steam Ship Company. Jeanneret became the company’s Manager in 1869. At that time also, there was another ferry company operating on the Parramatta River. It was owned by the Didier and Jules Joubert, well-known residents of Hunters Hill. The two companies merged to form the Parramatta and River Steamers’ Company. In 1875, Jeanneret bought the company from Manning. The Jouberts were left with running the Hunters Hill and Lane Cove Ferry Company.

With competition from the railway, the changes in propulsion technology (from paddle wheel to screw propeller) and the silting up of the river beyond Duck River, Jeanneret decided to build a deep-water wharf at Redbank – just west of the present Silverwater Bridge. The Redbank complex offered deep water wharves and Jeanneret proposed to connect these to Parramatta by a steamdriven tramway. 

The Redbank wharves were more than five kilometres from the centre of Parramatta. His company first gained the approval from the Parramatta Borough Council for this bold plan and in August 1881, the New South Wales Parliament passed the Jeanneret Tramway Act that authorised the construction and maintenance of a tramway from the Domain Gates at Parramatta to Redbank. 

The Jeanneret tramway was the first private tramway built in New South Wales. The first steam tram ran in October 1884. 

The Redbank Terminus comprised two wharves, one for passengers and one for freight. There was a station, a waiting shed, and two additional sheds; one for locomotives and passenger cars and the other for goods. Nearby was a crane to handle the freight. The terminus was situated on land leased from the Macarthur family. 

In 1916, the Municipality of Granville constructed a new road, Grand Avenue, that ran west from near the terminus to Camellia. The tramline ran along Grand Avenue, Grand Avenue North, Noller Avenue and into George Street until it reached the Domain Gates. 

On the block bordered by Macquarie, O’Connell and George Streets was situated Meggitts Limited who were manufacturers of linseed oil and associated products used as lubricants, as a base for paint and in the manufacture of linoleum. Meggitts used the tramway to transport its products to and from the Redbank wharf.

Although there were no ferry passengers from 1928, the tramway continued to operate until 1943. During that time, it carried workers to Hardies, Wunderlich, Goodyear Tyre and Rubber and the Sandown Meatworks and provided a cargo service for Meggitts.

 Jeanneret sold the company in 1888 to Philip Walker who lost it to the Union Bank. The new company was called the Sydney and Parramatta Wharves, Steamers and Tramway Company. It was in turn taken over by Sydney Ferries Limited in 1917 and this period is when the ferry services reached their peak. Some of the famous ferries were Bronzewing (1899), Pheasant (1889), Halcyon (1884) and Alaethea (1881). They were larger and propeller-driven with Bronzewing the largest being 110ft (33.5m) in length, displacing 150 tonnes with an operating speed of 12 knots. 

The Bronzewing was capable of carrying in excess of 500 passengers. The ferries stopped operating form Redbank in 1928. 

Charles Edward Jeanneret is the gentleman responsible for the building of what we now call the Newport Arms Hotel and the jetty or wharf that allowed passengers on to land in Pittwater. Some sources state a disagreement or a refusal to allow Mr Davis to use this wharf were resolved in Mr Jeanneret purchasing the Florrie. Other sources point to her only ever connecting with other mail steamers from Sydney at the head of Barrenjoey (the custom’s wharf) or with vehicles bringing mail overland into Pittwater. Most of these terminated at Newport due to the condition of the tracks into Pittwater, which were even worse or non-existent further north than this. Either way, Mr Davis seemed happiest building boats while Charles Jeanneret, who must rank among Australia’s pioneers as a gent who invested and built much infrastructure, was a keen ferry procurer. 

Born in Sydney in 1834 the eldest son of Dr. Henry Jeanneret he grew up on Flinders Island, then a protectorate of Tasmania, where his father had the title of ‘Commandant’ as well as ‘Superintendant of Aborigines’. Here he learnt navigation and seamanship. After stints at sea, sailing to England at 18 and on the goldfields in Bendigo he returned to Sydney in 1850, joined the Bank of New South Wales and married Julia Anne Bellingham in 1857, settling at Hunter’s Hill. They had eight sons and two daughters, the youngest of these, born in 1879 was named Florence Annie. Besides being responsible for the building of many lovely houses at Hunter’s Hill and elsewhere, being attributed with a great avenue of trees in this suburb and the construction, later, of a tramway, C E Jeanneret heard the complaints of fruit growers in this area on the then existing ferry service for their produce down the Parramatta River to Sydney markets. 

REMINISCENCES. 
THE LATE MR. JEANNERET - HISTORY OF THE PARRAMATTA STEAMER COMPANY. 

The late Mr. Alderman Jeanneret’s career had an important bearing in the development of the passenger traffic on the Parramatta River and elsewhere. 

The original proprietors of the Parramatta steamers were Mr. E. D. Manning, Sir William Manning, Mr. J. S. Mort, Mes.rs. J. and W. Asyrnes, and it was about 30 years ago that Mr, Jeanneret came upon the scene and that his influence was felt in connection with the river traffic. At that time the Hunter’s Hill people expressed great dissatisfaction with the arrangements of the original Parramatta Steamship Company, and this culminated in Messrs. Jeanneret, Joubert and others running a small steamer called the’ Isabel’ from Hunter’s Hill to Sydney. Success attended the venture, and, soon after, the S.S. Adelaide, procured in Melbourne, and engined in Sydney was added to the service. 

The enterprising owners then floated a company in opposition to the old company. Almost the whole of the fruit growers of the Ryde district, from those at Ermington to those of Hunter’s Hill took tip shares in the company to the extent of £5 and under. Mr. Jeanneret was unanimously selected as Manager, a position for which he proved himself eminently fitted. The two companies now entered into a keen competition, with the usual result that both lost heavily, and in less than two years there was an amalgamation, Mr. Jeanneret being selected as manager of the combined fleets. 

Soon after the amalgamation, the members of the old company disposed of the whole of their shares in the boats, and the new company were therefore left masters of the situation. Owing, however, to the heavy expenses, incidental chiefly to the working of the old steamers, whose earnings did not give an adequate return for the outlay, the victorious company found after a time that it could not meet its liabilities. Tenders were invited for the purchase of the fleet, which was sold to the highest bidder — the energetic and enterprising C.E. Jeanneret. He continued running the steamers successfully, the time proving exceedingly opportune for the venture. 

Those were the good old times when railway construction was in full swing, and large sums of money were being expended in the building of bridges, so that traffic on the river was very considerable. He continued the service for many years at a profit, and added considerably to the fleet both by purchases and the building of new steamers, bringing the number of vessels in the service up to 20. It was he who built the Halycon, Eagle, Eclipse, Nautilus, Osprey, Neutral Bay and, lastly, the Pheasant. Of the 20 vessels in his service half-a-dozen were employed on the Parramatta River, the others running to Gosford, Neutral Bay, Iron Cove, Hawkesbury River, etc. It was the late Mr. Jeanneret who opened up the Iron Cove service and also the service to and from Woolwich. Another boat he built was the S.S. Gosford which was afterwards sold at a satisfactory figure. 

During the good times an English syndicate made an offer for the purchase of Mr. Jeanneret’s entire fleet, and he went to England in 1890 to treat with the syndicate. The result was that he sold out, severing entirely his connection with the service, which he had worked up to a high state of proficiency. He made his home at Hunter’s Hill, which he regarded as ‘the apple of his eye’ from the time he first saw it. He was always a shrewd businessman, and of him it might almost be said that he ‘made Hunter’s Hill’. He built a great many villa residences on the Hill; in fact, no single individual has spent so much money in property in that borough as he. It was due to   his influence that the Post and Telegraph offices were built at Hunter’s Hill, and they are certainly a credit to the place. 

In conclusion, it may be added that of the officers or men employed by the old Parramatta company that opened up the river service, the genial and ever-obliging Captain Mance is the only one now remaining in the service. He is known as the Commodore of the fleet, a distinction to which he is well entitled.

Letter of introduction from Henry Parkes, Colonial Secretary

DEATH OF ALDERMAN JEANNERET 

The news that Mr. C. E. Jeanneret had passed away on Tuesday evening was received here with general regret. He had been for many years a prominent man in the public life of the city and this colony. 

The Evening News of Wednesday publishes the following sketch of his life :- 

”Charles Edward Jeanneret, who for many years past has taken such an active part in the municipal life of the metropolis, passed away at 9.30 on Tuesday evening, at tho age of 64. He died at his son’s farm at Wyrallah, on the Richmond River, after an illness of some months’ duration, which, however, assumed a more serious aspect during the past six weeks. The cause of death was an internal malady of a very painful nature, and the news today that he was no more was received by those of his municipal and business associates who knew him best with the deepest regret. 

Mr. Jeanneret was a man whose business energy and tact, combined with a naturally genial disposition and a sincere interest in the matters having for their object the advancement of the public welfare, won for him the respect of all with whom he came in contact, either in public or in private life. He was born in Sydney in the year 1834, during the term of rule of Governor Sir Richard Bourke, K.C.B. His father, of whom the deceased gentleman has for many years been the only surviving son, was Dr. Henry Jeanneret, an old colonist, who subsequently became Civil Commandant of Flinders Land, a dependency of Tasmania. Here the son spent most of his boyhood and youth, during which he acquired a love of the sea, and an acquaintance with practical seamanship which led him, at the early age of 18 to take a voyage to Europe. On his return to Australia, he abandoned the sea for the more alluring temptations of the gold rushes, and he put in some years upon the Bendigo fields and at Sandhurst. Subsequently he returned to Sydney, and after a period of service in tho Bank of New South, Wales, he entered into a general agency partnership with Mr. Henry Porter. 

About this time he married, and settled at Hunter’s Hill, on the Lane Cove River. Tho district at that time was little better than a tract of wild bush, the few residences which had been erected being very far apart. Mr. Jeanneret made some prudent investments in land, with the profits from which he became a shareholder in and afterwards manager of the local steam ferry company. After a keen competition with a rival ferry for some years, the two coalesced, and Mr. Jeanneret became proprietor of the concern in 1870, his fleet numbering five steamers, a number which he afterwards increased to about twenty. 

Farming, mining, and meat preserving occupied his time, and the traces of his building enterprise are visible all along the banks of the Lane Cove and Parramatta River. One of his works is the tramway from the Parramatta River to the Park. 

The incorporation of Hunter’s Hill, of which he was afterwards several times Mayor, was due almost entirely to his advocacy and personal exertions, and he has been an alderman since that event which occurred in 1871. In the City Council he has represented. Bourke Ward for many years with Sir William Manning and Mr. Alexander Down. At the general election in tho early part of 1887 he was returned to the Legislative Assembly, where he sat for some years as the representative of Carcoar. Mr. Jeanneret was an hon. magistrate of the colony at the time when his services were often in active requisition at the Water Police Court, and his decisions are stated to have always been marked by an intelligent justice and a sound commonsense. 

The deceased gentleman was removed to his sons’ place on Monday. He was brought down from his residence at Hunter’s Hill by the Civil Ambulance and Transport Brigade, and conveyed to the N.C.S. Company’s steamer Electra by which he journeyed north. 

Deceased, we may add, leaves a widow, six: sons, and two daughters. Knowing the hopelessness of recovering from his ailment, and the certainty of early death, he was quite resigned, and so came to Wyrallah to die surrounded by his family. His remains, by his own request, were enclosed in a leaden coffin to be sent to Sydney for interment in the family vault at Ryde. A short service was held at his late residence, Wyrallah, yesterday, Canon. Ewing conducting the same, and the coffin was then placed on Board the Electra. The interment will take place at Ryde on Monday.

MEMORIAL WINDOW

A stained-glass window to the memory of the late Messrs. Charles Edward Jeanneret and Henry Stanley Jeanneret, his son, father and brother of Mr. H. C. Jeanneret; of Wyrallah, was unveiled at All Saints Anglican Church, Hunter’s Hill, on Sunday, the 7th inst., by Canon Bellingham. The late Mr. Jeanneret was a well-known figure in political circles some years ago, having been a representative of Carcoar in the Legislative Assembly. He had been closely connected with All Saints Church for- many years. The figures on the window represent three saints of the early Saxon Church-Bede, Augustine, and Aidan.
