Historically of local significance, Card’s Lane was named after the Card’s Family with most properties in the street owned by world famous author and crochet pattern designer, Mary Cards (1861-1940) or her sisters who lived at #7 in the early-mid 1900s. Fondly known as “Bungaree” (derived from an Aboriginal word meaning hut), Mary owned two properties – one in London and one in Olinda (#7) that she referred to as her “2 huts” and she would retreat to 'Bungaree' after her regular trips to Europe and America. Mary wrote that she chose the location for “its surpassing beauty on the edge of a forest of giant eucalyptus trees”, a forest now home to a chorus of kookaburras and other local birdlife.
