Name History
The West End Recreational Reserve was called after an Aboriginal name for Castle Hill. Lieutenant G.P. Heath named Castle Hill Mount Cudtheringa during his survey of Cleveland Bay in October 1864. He was advised in the selection of this name by James Morrill who was aboard the Flora during the survey.
The name has also been spelt Cootheringa and Catherunga, but it should be remembered that these variations in spelling are simply due to the fact that Aboriginal words were written down as the recorder heard them, using the letters of the alphabet with the values they have in English.
