Введение
Бронте — прибрежный восточный пригород Сиднея, в штате Новый Южный Уэльс, Австралия. Пляж Бронте (Bronte Beach) расположен в 7 километрах к востоку от центрального делового района Сиднея, в районе местного самоуправления Совета Уэверли в Восточных пригородах. Бронте-Бич находится на берегу залива Нельсон, окруженный парком Бронте. Бронте предлагает живописные пешеходные тропы вдоль скал на юг до Куджи через кладбище Уэверли и на север до пляжа Бонди через Тамараму и залив Маккензис. С тропы на вершине скалы открываются виды, простирающиеся от Бен-Баклера на севере до Малабара на юге. Бронте расположен примерно в 2,5 км к югу от пляжа Бонди. В 2008 году этот пригород был признан лучшим из 641 пригорода Сиднея в Good Suburbs Guide газеты Sydney Morning Herald.
First Australian history
There is no clear evidence for the name or names of the indigenous bands or clans who were the original custodians of the area prior to the 1788 European settlement of Australia. Most sources agree on the Cadigal, but some sources name the Biddigal and Birrabirragal bands as well. There was a large natural "bogey hole" at the southern end of the beach, the name of which derived from the local Aboriginal term for "swimming place", but the original bogey hole was substantially destroyed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the current bogey hole was articially constructed in the early 20th century. Owing to the devastating effects of the European invasion on Aboriginal peoples, including forced displacement and the catastrophic impact of introduced European diseases such as smallpox, most or all of the original indigenous inhabitants of the area were killed by disease or forced to move further inland during the late 18th and early 19th century, resulting in the near total loss of indigenous cultural knowledge about the area, and this had been compounded by the massive residential and commercial development of the area, which has destroyed nearly all archaeological evidence of the indigenous occupation and use of the land and seashore around what is now known as "Nelson Bay". Modern history
Robert Lowe, who later became Viscount Sherbrooke, bought of land from Mortimer Lewis, the English born Australian Colonial Architect who was given a free grant of most of the frontage in the area in the 1830s. His home was completed in 1845 and was named Bronte House, for Lord Nelson, who was the Duke of Bronte, a place in Sicily, Italy. The house, a single storey stone bungalow located in Bronte Road, is owned by Waverley Council and leased to private tenants who hold open days a few times a year. It is listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register
Lowe became a member of the New South Wales Legislative Council. He later moved back to England where he became a writer with The Times. Trams
The former Bronte tram line branched from the North Bondi via Bondi Junction line at Bondi Junction, running down Bronte Road and MacPherson Street to Bronte Beach. A feature of this line was the final approach to Bronte Beach in a rock cutting parallel to the Pacific Ocean. The line opened to Waverley in 1890, then to Bronte in 1911. Electric services started to Waverley in 1902, then Bronte in 1911. Through services ran from Circular Quay or Railway Square. The line was closed in 1960 and replaced by a bus service that follows the route between Bronte and Bondi Junction of bus 378 (440 from 2015 and 379 from early 2018). Heritage listings
Bronte has a number of heritage listed sites, including:
470 Bronte Road: Bronte House''

Нет четких доказательств имени или имен коренных племен или кланов, которые были первоначальными хранителями этой территории до европейского поселения в Австралии в 1788 году. Большинство источников сходятся во мнении относительно Кадигал, но некоторые источники называют также племена Бидигал и Бирабиргал. В южной части пляжа была большая естественная «водопотока» (bogey hole), название которой произошло от местного аборигенского термина «место для плавания», но первоначальная водопотока была значительно разрушена в конце XIX и начале XX веков, а нынешняя водопотока была искусственно сооружена в начале XX века. Из-за разрушительных последствий европейской колонизации для коренных народов, включая насильственное перемещение и катастрофическое воздействие занесенных европейских болезней, таких как оспа, большинство или все первоначальные коренные жители этой территории погибли от болезней или были вынуждены переместиться дальше вглубь страны в конце XVIII и начале XIX века, что привело к почти полной утрате коренных культурных знаний об этой местности. Это усугубилось масштабной жилой и коммерческой застройкой территории, которая уничтожила почти все археологические свидетельства коренного населения и использования земли и береговой линии вокруг того, что сейчас известно как «залив Нельсон».

Роберт Лоу, впоследствии ставший виконтом Шербруком, купил землю у Мортимера Льюиса, австралийского колониального архитектора английского происхождения, которому в 1830-х годах была предоставлена большая часть земли вдоль фасада территории. Его дом был завершен в 1845 году и назван Бронте-Хаус (Bronte House) в честь лорда Нельсона, герцога Бронте, местности на Сицилии, в Италии. Дом, одноэтажный каменный бунгало, расположенный на Бронте-Роуд, принадлежит Совету Уэверли и сдается в аренду частным арендаторам, которые несколько раз в год проводят дни открытых дверей. Он внесен в Государственный реестр наследия Нового Южного Уэльса.

Бывшая трамвайная линия Бронте ответвлялась от линии Северный Бонди через Бонди-Джанкшн на перекрестке Бонди, проходя по Бронте-Роуд и Макферсон-стрит до Бронте-Бич. Особенностью этой линии был финальный участок подхода к Бронте-Бич, проложенный в скальном разрезе параллельно Тихому океану. Линия открылась до Уэверли в 1890 году, затем до Бронте в 1911 году. Электрическое движение началось до Уэверли в 1902 году, затем до Бронте в 1911 году. Маршруты проходили от Circular Quay или Railway Square. Линия была закрыта в 1960 году и заменена автобусным сообщением, которое следует по маршруту между Бронте и Бонди-Джанкшн автобуса 378 (440 с 2015 года и 379 с начала 2018 года).

First Australian history
There is no clear evidence for the name or names of the indigenous bands or clans who were the original custodians of the area prior to the 1788 European settlement of Australia. Most sources agree on the Cadigal, but some sources name the Biddigal and Birrabirragal bands as well. There was a large natural "bogey hole" at the southern end of the beach, the name of which derived from the local Aboriginal term for "swimming place", but the original bogey hole was substantially destroyed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the current bogey hole was articially constructed in the early 20th century. Owing to the devastating effects of the European invasion on Aboriginal peoples, including forced displacement and the catastrophic impact of introduced European diseases such as smallpox, most or all of the original indigenous inhabitants of the area were killed by disease or forced to move further inland during the late 18th and early 19th century, resulting in the near total loss of indigenous cultural knowledge about the area, and this had been compounded by the massive residential and commercial development of the area, which has destroyed nearly all archaeological evidence of the indigenous occupation and use of the land and seashore around what is now known as "Nelson Bay". Modern history
Robert Lowe, who later became Viscount Sherbrooke, bought of land from Mortimer Lewis, the English born Australian Colonial Architect who was given a free grant of most of the frontage in the area in the 1830s. His home was completed in 1845 and was named Bronte House, for Lord Nelson, who was the Duke of Bronte, a place in Sicily, Italy. The house, a single storey stone bungalow located in Bronte Road, is owned by Waverley Council and leased to private tenants who hold open days a few times a year.
