History
Tempe House
Less than 100 years after Captain James Cook sailed into Botany Bay, John Verge, one of the leading architects of the time, designed and built Tempe House on the banks of the Cook River in 1836, as site that today forms part of Discovery Point.
Named after ‘Vale of Tempe’, a beautiful valley in ancient Greek legend set at the foot of Mount Olympus, Tempe House was designed with a handsome Georgian feel and features beautifully hand crafted cedar joinery, a delightful garden setting and magnificent views from its porches.
A.B (Brodie) Spark, one of the leading figures of Sydney’s 1830 society, commissioned Tempe House. Classically educated, Spark had aspired to be a poet. He had a romantic vision for his 100-acre estate on the banks of the Cooks River.
During the 1960’s, Tempe House was used as a home for ‘wayward’ girls and was therefore colloquially known in the area as ‘The Bad Girls’ Home’. Boys from local schools were often called upon to go on chaperoned outings with the girls, presumably so that they may acquire some social graces and possibly meet some ‘good’ boys.
Heritage Gardens
Discovery Point will see these gardens restored to their former glory.
Horticulturists are already at work harvesting seeds from original vegetation and preparing for extensive replanting schemes. The heritage gardens will be for the exclusive use of residents of Discovery Point.

St Magdalene Chapel
Caroline Chisholm, an Australian Philanthropist leased Tempe House as a boarding school for young women from 1863 to 1865. The Estate, known as Greenbank during this time, presented an ideal location for her work, "I promise to know neither country nor creed, but to serve all justly and impartially.”
In 1884 the estate was sold to the Sisters of the Good Samaritan, where the Sisters looked after girls committed to their care by the courts. The Sisters added the remarkable St Magdalene Chapel.
Now deconsecrated, the high timber roofed neo-Gothic style Chapel is of major cultural significance and will be restored as part of Discovery Point’s heritage strategy.
Artefacts
Discovery Point’s heritage is the subject of an ongoing archaeological program to unearth and documents buried remains, and examine the artefacts found on site.
The garden areas have significant archaeological potential, and will hopefully reveal new information on colonial attitudes towards gardens and recreation.
Tempe Estate
Tempe Estate was laid out in the most tasteful fashions of the day, and was the focus of a constant stream of visitors, who arrived by boat to a picturesque view embracing extensive lawns and the Verge – also designed by John Verge.
