Murdering Bay to join Butchers Block ?

The two Big Foot orienteering maps in Lane Cove, Burns Bay and Butchers Block have long been joined topologically. Now the opportunity to rename the "Burns Bay" map to "Murdering Bay" to make a gory pair has presented itself as local historian Bill McLaughlin revealed that the bay used to have that name.

According to the details of the trial of the areas most notorious murderer, Terence Byrne the area was already called Murdering Bay before he killed his wife Ann Davis. Hanged by the neck until dead, maybe they changed the name in fear of nominative determinism*. 

At this time, much of the land belonged to a grant given to William Henry (pictured), himself an occasional bad egg, with form for theft, abduction and running a house of low repute. Somehow he managed to still score 1000 acres from the government of the day. He reputedly built Burns Bay Road as a timbergetters track... another good name for a map.

* Several unsolved incidents of arson occurred in the Burns Bay area in the early 3rd millenium.
