Georges Hall, NSW Australia

Georges Hall, a suburb of local government area Canterbury-Bankstown Council, is located 24 kilometers south-west of the Sydney central business district in the state of New South Wales, Australia, and is part of the South-western Sydney region.

Georges Hall is bounded by the Georges River in the west and Bankstown Airport in the south. The suburbs of Bass Hill and Condell Park lie to the north and east, respectively.

This suburb was originally part of Bankstown and Bankstown Airport (its nearest neighbour).

In 1795, George Bass, Matthew Flinders and the boy servant William Martin began an expedition to explore parts of the colony on a small boat called the Tom Thumb. They sailed into Botany Bay and explored the Georges River, twenty miles (32 km) beyond previous expeditions to the area that is now Garrison Point.

For their exploration efforts Bass was given a 100-acre (0.40 km2) grant by Governor John Hunter (in the area of present-day Hazel Street and Flinders Road, alongside Prospect Creek) in 1798, neighbouring suburb Bass Hill honours his name. This grant later reverted to the Crown. Bass's fellow explorer, Mathew Flinders, received a grant south of Bass's (bounded by present-day Marion St, Bellevue Ave, Flinders Rd and Prospect Creek). He bought more land until he had 300-acre (1.2 km2), but he did not farm it.

Lieutenant-Colonel George Johnston, built his first home, a farmhouse, in this area, on a grant of 172-acre (0.70 km2) in 1798.[2] It was situated on Prospect Creek, near the present-day Henry Lawson Drive and Beatty Parade, he called it 'Georges Hall'. His third son, David became a grazier on this property (which was a farming area in its early days), and the suburb takes its name from the Johnston Farm.
