Leumeah, New South Wales
Leumeah is a suburb of Campbelltown, in the state of New South Wales, Australia 52 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Campbelltown. It is north of the suburb of Campbelltown and is part of the Macarthur region.
History
The name Leumeah recognises both early settler John Warby, who called his farm Leumeah, and the Tharawal people who originally inhabited the area. It means "Here I rest" and comes from the Tharawal language. Clans of the Tharawal roamed over a wide area from Botany Bay to the Shoalhaven River and inland to Campbelltown. They lived a nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle, eating local foods (bush tucker) such as kangaroo, fish, yams and berries. They made tools out of stones, bones and shells to help them build bark shelters, canoes and possum-skin clothing.
John Warby was a convict explorer transported to Sydney on the Pitt in February 1792. In 1802, he was given the job of protecting the cattle roaming free in the Cowpastures area, as the area south west of Sydney was then known. He befriended the Tharawals and learnt some of their language. In 1816, he was granted 260 acres (1.1 km2) at what is now Leumeah where he built his house, a barn and stables. The barn still stands as part of the Colonial Motor Inn.

Full Frontal Fridays
by: LamyaI sleep and dream that life is
All beauty
I wake and find that life is
All just duty
But in the days before the dilution
Music Pollution
Oh we positively sparkled on TV
Yeah from Full Frontal Fridays
To Flashback Ruby Tuesdays
Same old picture in a brand new frame
But the song remains the same
The first time was better
Playing by new rules
Age-old-game - double the pressure
Half the pleasure
City full of windows and design
Towering towers of lies
To climb and climb and climb
Dreams of the view
View from the top
Pushing for the pressure to drop
Don't want to end where the mistery stops
I wanne be where the
Sun never sets on a city
That never skips a beat
Sun always shines
On a set that never sleeps
Sound bites
Set betting our hedges
Trapped in the meshes
Stuck in the marshes
And only time, time, time marches on
From Full Frontal Fridays
To Flashback Ruby Tuesdays
Same old picture in a brand new frame
But the song remains the same
The first time was better
Playing by new rules
Age-old-game - double the pressure
Half the pleasure
From Full Frontal Fridays
To Flashback Ruby Tuesdays
Glossing over where you placed the blame
(I hear) remember my name
You'll be screaming it later
Scream my name
You'll remember it better when it hits
In the shiny glow
Of 90210
Before Jerry Springer
The thongs, thongs
And the video-ho
Back before we were
Tangled in drama
Douching for dollars
Bimbo to scholar
Oh we positively sparkled on TV
From Full Frontal Fridays
To Flashback Ruby Tuesdays
Lazy Sunday Bloody Mary Sundays
Switch on make-believe
Mondays always look better
Gleaming in my reverie
So much better sparkling on TV
Sun never sets on a city
That never skips a beat
Sun always shines
On a set that never sleeps
Sound bites
Set betting our hedges
Trapped in the meshes
Stuck in the marshes
