Indigenous presence

Purfleet was previously the site of an Aboriginal reserve, originally known as Sunshine Station, established by the Aborigines Protection Board in 1900. A mission school operated on the reserve from 1903 until 1952.[2][3] Aboriginal people from the area were relocated to the mission, and were not allowed to leave to go to town without the permission of the manager.[4]

The Purfleet/Taree Local Aboriginal Land Council is located within the suburb, as is the Biripi Aboriginal Corporation Medical Centre.

Aunty Pat Davis-Hurst AO AM, a nationally recognised Aboriginal elder, healthcare worker and activist was born on the mission.[5]
