Concord, Hen and Chicken Bay

A cloudy sky over the inner west suburb of Concord, looking across Hen and Chicken Bay. Bayview Park wharf can be seen on the shore along with the Canadian monument in Bayview Park, that I featured over the last two days. The old Bushells Tea factory and new apartment developments can be seen in the background.

    Looks lovely. I'd love to be on that boat on that bay right now. Why is it called Chicken and Hens?
    Have a super Friday!

    That's a strange name for a lovely bay. Any idea why?

    It certainly is a curious name but the origins of it are unclear. Some have suggested that it could have something to do with two rocky outcrops into the bay, one larger and one smaller, that may have been like a hen and chick. Others suggest that maybe early settlers had seen emu hens and their chicks nesting here.
