Garrison Point near the junction of Georges River and Prospect Creek is a historically significant parkland. In 1795, Matthew Flinders , and George Bass , and the boy servant William Martin explored the Georges River to land at what is now Garrison Point and discover the what is now part of Bankstown . The area is so named because in Bankstown's early history, a garrison of soldiers was stationed here to ensure the safety of Major George Johnston as he conducted a census in the area. The park is now the local focus of annual Australia Day celebrations in the Bankstown area. EXTERNAL LINKS
