#RunAshore Podcast on the History of Garden Island

Alongside the series host, Mark Cooper, Simon provides insight into the decorated history of Garden Island.

Three Facts from this episode:

1. In early 1788, Garden Island was where colonists first chose to grow crops. This undertaking helped to introduce European food species and cultivation techniques into the country.
2. Garden Island is the site of Australia’s longest-settled infrastructure.
3. In 1856 the Colonial Secretary at the time, wrote to the British Government suggesting Garden Island be used as a navy base. This was then approved by the British Government in 1859.

The team at contentgroup would like to extend a sincere thank you to Simon for joining us for such an engaging discussion.
