In 1801, Governor King established government farm at Castle Hill to provide grain for the colony within three years, 700 acres had been cleared.
It didn’t take long for convicts to try and escape and martial law was declared.
I’d heard of Australia’s Battle of Vinegar Hill but didn’t realise that the root of this battle was started here in Castle Hill.
It’s pretty remarkable that such a large tracts of parkland has been preserved for the future. Beautiful park to wander through.
We followed the Hunters Hill council’s walks… walk #2 from here
A lovely walk around the gorgeous older houses and estates.
Decosti
That View!

Another walk from the City of Sydney – Gritty Newtown
Learnt a few things… again! Who’d have thought??
Did not know what this meant until now!
This art-deco building on King St was an icerink that transformed into summer baths!
Simply gorgeous terraces overlooking Hollis Park
The old Trocadero on King St – roller skating and dancing.
Newtown’s most sought-after address apparently
Hollis Park – beautiful

This weekend we followed a tour from https://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au called Skirting Sydney.
It focused on The Rocks and around Martin Place. This tour pinpoints key sites where girls and women lived and worked, where they were educated and entertained, and where pioneering activist women held meetings, published journals and sometimes in the process expanded the possibilities for all women’s lives.
Good stuff.

We went, for the first time, to Observatory Hill Park and went through the observatory. Was great. And free! Site of Sydney’s first windmill with beautiful views of Sydney to the east and west. We discovered Ferry Lane and The Paddock, had a drink at the Lord Nelson, found a still in use cast iron urinal and discovered the laneway below Lower Fort St.
