A 200-year-old Quercus ilex (holm oak) tree known as "Old Homer" is located near to the park's pedestrian entrance at Fairy Glen. Famous for growing at a 45-degree angle from the ground, which makes it easy for children to climb, it is said to have been well loved by generations of local people. The evergreen tree is almost in girth and has distinctive "snakeskin" bark; one of its boughs was recently propped to prevent collapse. The tree has links to folk music – it is the site of performances during the park's "Fiddler's Green", and the ashes of Scottish folk singer Danny Kyle were scattered beneath the tree.

An early reference is found is Richard McKenna's 1960s speculative fiction novella, Fiddler's Green, which mentions "Alcheringa ... the Binghi spirit land", i.e. the Aranda concept translated as "Dreamtime". Early 1970s references to the concept include Dorothy Bryant's The Kin of Ata are Waiting for You (1971), Ursula K. Le Guin's novella The Word for World is Forest (1972), and Peter Weir's films The Last Wave (1977) and Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975). Dreamtime became a widely cited concept in popular culture in the 1980s, and by the late 1980s was adopted as a cliché in New Age and feminist spirituality alongside related appeals to other "Rouseauian natural people", such as the Native Americans idealized in 1960s hippie counterculture.

Bellevue is approximately a ten-minute drive from the neighbouring community of Bellevue Beach (mentioned above), which was founded by Augustus Whitten in the years following World War Two. Originally intended as quiet land for a cottage, Mr Whitten saw potential in his land as the former highway was paved, passing directly through the area. He sold his store on the South side of St. John's and moved to 'Bellevue Beach,' where he started a local restaurant. As other families moved to the area and time passed, the community gained and lost two stores, a hairdressing shop, built a business of cabins- Fiddler's Green- which is still standing today, and is home to a previously provincial campground.

She began playing major Canadian folk festivals in 1984 and shortly thereafter began touring across Canada and the US. Her professional career began while she was still attending university—where she ultimately earned four degrees (BA, BEd and two MA's) in various subjects, including history, philosophy, theatre and medieval studies. Her interpretations of Celtic traditional songs made her name quickly on the Canadian folk music scene. With the release of her first album, Elements (1986), which included seven of her own songs, McGann began to be redefined as a singer-songwriter, even though she continued to sing Celtic traditional music.

The origins of the name are unclear, and many theories have been put forth, including an actual David Jones, who was a pirate on the Indian Ocean in the 1630s; a pub owner who kidnapped sailors and then dumped them onto any passing ship; the incompetent Duffer Jones, a notoriously myopic sailor who often found himself over-board; or that Davy Jones is another name for Satan; or "Devil Jonah", the biblical Jonah who became the "evil angel" of all sailors, who would identify more with the beset-upon ship-mates of Jonah than with the unfortunate man himself. Upon death, a wicked sailor's body supposedly went to Davy Jones' locker (a chest, as lockers were back then), but a pious sailor's soul went to Fiddler's Green. This nautical superstition was popularized in the 19th century. Kraken were legendary sea monsters that may have been based on sightings of giant squids.
