history

The suburb was named after Lindisferne House , a mansion that was built in the 1820s near the suburb of Rosny . From 1892 the settlement was called Beltana , but because of the risk of confusion with Bellerive , it was renamed Lindisfarne in 1903 . The namesake in this case was the tidal island Lindisferne in the sea off Northumberland in the north of England . The easternmost part of the center of Lindisfarne, where the Beltana Bowls Club and the Beltana Hotel are located, is still called Beltana by the population today .
