Suburb of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia
Dudley is a southern coastal suburb of Newcastle , New South Wales , Australia , 13 kilometres (8 mi ) southwest of Newcastle's central business district on the eastern side of Lake Macquarie . It is part of the City of Lake Macquarie local government area .
History
[ edit ]
The Aboriginal people, in this area, the Awabakal , were the first people of this land.[2]
Dudley started off as a mining town. Dudley developed into a suburb after World War II .
Dudley Public School
[ edit ]
Dudley Public school opened in 1892 and has among its alumni two recipients of the Victoria Cross . In 1976, the Jeffries and Currey Memorial Library was opened by the Governor of New South Wales , Sir Roden Cutler , himself a VC, at Dudley Public School to honour the two ex-pupils who were decorated with the Victoria Cross during the First World War : Clarence Jeffries and William Currey .[3]
Jeffries and Currey (who survived the war and later went on to become a member of the NSW parliament) are also memorialised on the school's honour board which, in addition, records the names of the 93 other former pupils (of whom 19% were killed in action) who served in the First World War – a remarkable contribution given the small population of the school and the community in the early part of the 20th century.[4]
