[edit] Location

Malabar is a coastal suburb situated around Long Bay. Malabar is mostly residential with large plots of land devoted to the Randwick Golf Course, the ANZAC Rifle Range and the Long Bay Correctional Centre. A small group of shops is located at Prince Edward Street, close to the intersection with Anzac Parade. To the north, the suburb is bounded by Malabar Headland which features the Malabar Battery, a World War II fortification complex.

[edit] History

Malabar was named after a ship called the MV Malabar, a Burns Philp Company passenger and cargo steamer that was shipwrecked at Long Bay on April 2, 1931. The ship itself was named after Malabar, Indonesia. Prior to the wreck, the suburb was known as either Brand or Long Bay. Following a petition by local residents, the new name was gazetted on September 29, 1933.

The area was originally part of the land reserved for the Church and Schools Corporation with income generated intended to support clergy and teachers. Later, the land reverted to the Crown and by the end of the 19th century there was a small fishing village here. Later, Long Bay became popular for picnics and as a weekend resort.

The State Reformatory for Women was opened in 1909 and the State Penitentiary for Men was opened beside it in 1914. The reformatory became part of the prison in the late 1950s, known as the Long Bay Penitentiary. The women’s prison was vacated after Mulawa Correctional Centre opened in 1969 at Silverwater.

The Anzac Rifle Range was originally called Long Bay Rifle Range. It was closed in 1968 when rifle shooting practice was moved to Holsworthy. When it reopened in 1970 it was named after Anzac soldiers of World War I. [1]
