Milperra, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Milperra is a suburb in south western Sydney on the banks of the Georges River, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The suburb has one university campus, namely the University of Western Sydney (Bankstown campus).
Many streets in the area are named after World War 1 battles and officers.
The word 'Milperra' is an Aboriginal word for "a gathering of people". After World War I, Milperra was the site of the Bankstown Soldier Settlement.
In 1984 there was a bikie shootout in nearby Revesby, in a hotel called the Milperra Viking. This altercation has since been called the "Milperra Massacre".
