History The suburb of Bolton Point is a suburb of the City of Lake Macquarie in New South Wales, Australia, and is located northeast of Toronto on a peninsula extending southwards into western Lake Macquarie. In 1836, a land grant was given to James Busby to establish a colony for wool production.The land was planted with wheat and sheep. In 1836, a group of convicts escaped from the East India Docks in Portsmouth. They found a small ship and after four months at sea they landed on the coast of Australia at a place called Bolton Point.The convicts were very hungry and thirsty after their journey. At first they saw nothing but sand and rocks. They walked all day until they found a river, which they drank from for days without stopping to eat or sleep.Eventually, the convicts found some food and water at a station with an overseer that was looking after sheep and cattle near the river. He told them that this was part of New South Wales. In 1850, Busby sold the land to a company of speculators for £1400.A few years later the company had been taken over by a group of pastoralists from Victoria and South Australia called the Australian Agricultural Company. They started breeding cattle and horses on the property.
