History
Beverley Park and Kogarah Bay were originally part of the suburb of Kogarah. The area had been originally known as Townson's Bay and then Koggorah. [http://stgeorge.yourguide.com.au/news/local/news/general/future-is-looking-bright-for-colourful-colonial-sunnyside/793064.aspx St George Leader] Kogarah and Kogarah Bay were completely separated from each other by the creation of this new suburb. The suburb took its name from the large recreational park, which includes the Beverley Park Golf Course.
Sunnyside is a historic sandstone house on Princes Highway, which was originally the home of Irish immigrant Matthew Carroll who bought 178 acres in 1848. It has been the home of two Kogarah mayors, a Church of England rectory in 1930s and a private kindergarten and primary school from 1948. It was sold in 1958 and converted into a rooming house until 1993 when it became a private residence again. [Sunnyside, an old Kogarah residence, Beverley Earnshaw, ]
