Antun Sardelic (1901–1969) and son Antun "Tony" Sardelic (1921–2008) of the Sardelic family came to Western Australia in 1926. His parents were Antun Sardelic and Franca Bacic.[1]

In 1941 he moved with his family to South Fremantle and set up a market garden, which Antun Senior ran until his retirement in 1954. He sold six acres to CIL Woolsheds and divided the remaining four acres between his two sons. The market gardens were worked by the Sardelic families for a total of forty-nine years before the land was sold in 2006.
Sardelic Park is named after the Sardelic family. A sign in the park reads as follows:[3]
In 1926 Antun Sardelic Senior left Yugoslavia for WA as a 25-year-old in search of a new life and temporarily had to leave behind his wife, his three children Andtun, known as Tony, duaghter Shanna and Ivan. On arrival in WA he moved to Boulder in the Goldfields. Fifteen years later in 1941 he made both a living, and a home on the corner of Mather and Clontart Roads in Fremantle, where he established a 4Ha market garden and worked the land. In 1956 Antun Junior and Ivan took over the working of the land and Antun Senior retired. His sons continued to work the market gardens until 2006—a 49-year commitment from the Sardelic family to their new community.
Antun died in 1969 or 1970,[1] aged 68.
