Introduction Thank you for choosing to bring your class to a Sydney Learning Adventures education program. This Teacher Resource Pack is a practical guide to assist you in planning your excursion. It contains a curriculum links and outcomes table, background information relevant to the program, teaching suggestions and activity worksheets, a glossary for students and a resources reference guide. The Little Diggers program enables students to work as archaeologists and learn about what life was like for children living long ago. Students will excavate artefacts from our simulated dig, take an exclusive access Big Dig site tour, then examine and discuss the artefacts using our interactive ‘map mat’ to find out about the lives of children living in The Rocks during the 19th century. It is intended that students will gain a sound understanding of how archaeologists find out about the past. Gloucester Street in the 1900s—looking north Little Diggers 4 2.

  • From Its First Occupation by Europeans After 1788, the Steep Slopes on The
    The Rocks The Rocks is the historic neighbourhood situated on the western side of Sydney Cove. The precinct rises steeply behind George Street and the shores of West Circular Quay to the heights of Observatory Hill. It was named the Rocks by convicts who made homes there from 1788, but has a much older name, Tallawoladah, given by the first owners of this country, the Cadigal. Tallawoladah, the rocky headland of Warrane (Sydney Cove), had massive outcrops of rugged sandstone, and was covered with dry schlerophyll forest of pink-trunked angophora, blackbutt, red bloodwood and Sydney peppermint. The Cadigal probably burnt the bushland here to keep the country open. Archaeological evidence shows that they lit cooking fires high on the slopes, and shared meals of barbequed fish and shellfish. Perhaps they used the highest places for ceremonies and rituals; down below, Cadigal women fished the waters of Warrane in bark canoes.1 After the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Tallawoladah became the convicts’ side of the town. While the governor and civil personnel lived on the more orderly easterm slopes of the Tank Stream, convict women and men appropriated land on the west. Some had leases, but most did not. They built traditional vernacular houses, first of wattle and daub, with thatched roofs, later of weatherboards or rubble stone, roofed with timber shingles. They fenced off gardens and yards, established trades and businesses, built bread ovens and forges, opened shops and pubs, and raised families. They took in lodgers – the newly arrived convicts - who slept in kitchens and skillions.

  • Dawes Point Geographical Review
    Dawes Point Geographical Review To the Royal Australian Historical Society, Geographical Society of NSW, and the Geographical Names Board of NSW From Davina Jackson PhD, M.Arch, FRGS, MRAHS 19 February 2018 Synopsis Leading Sydney historians have noted persistent confusions about the appropriate mapping of Dawes Point—as several places of colonial history significance and a suburb gazetted in 1993. This report suggests that Lt. William Dawes’s science, defence, construction and linguistic contributions to colonial Sydney would be appropriately honoured by: —Recognising Dawes Point as all the public pedestrian areas occupying the western headland of Sydney Cove from the north headland of Campbells Cove to Ives Steps beside Pier 1 on Walsh Bay; —Renaming Hickson Road Reserve as part of the existing Dawes Point Reserve—which also has been identified in state government documents as Dawes Point (Tar ra) Park*; —Including all the Dawes Point public open space area in the suburb of The Rocks (which currently includes only Hickson Road Reserve); —Delisting the microsuburb of Dawes Point (2016 pop. 357), which since 1993 has overlapped half of the Walsh Bay conservation zone (SREP 16 1989-2009) and parts of the Millers Point and Dawes Point Park conservation zones; and —Including Lower Fort Street (west side) and Trinity Street in the suburb and conservation zone of Millers Point (LEP 2012), to conceptually rejoin Fort Street on Observatory Hill. * See Figs. 30-32 from Mary Knaggs, 2011, Dawes Point (Tar ra) Conservation Management Plan, Sydney: NSW Government Architect’s Office, and earlier Dawes Point CMPs. Summary Dawes Point has been inconsistently mapped since the early 1800s.

  • Sirius Planning Controls Letter Nboyd2
    Dr. Noni K. Boyd Heritage Consultant & Architectural Historian GPO Box 1334 Sydney 2001 Australia Mobile: 0412 737 921 ABN 71 376 540 977 12 February 2018 Submitted via the website Dear Sir or Madam, Re: Sirius building, 36-50 Cumberland Street, The Rocks Proposed new Planning Controls I write in regard to the call for public submissions on the proposed SEPP for the Sirius site at 36-50 Cumberland Street. I have a very detailed knowledge of this area having previously worked for SCRA/SHFA. My Master’s thesis undertaken at the School of Architecture at Sydney University involved a study of the development and conservation of Gloucester Street, The Rocks and more recently I have been involved in the preparation of Conservation Management Plans for 23 George Street North and some of the surviving 1840s townhouse in the area: 20-22 Lower Fort Street and on Millers Point proper. As a general comment the information contained within the suite of documents exhibited does not demonstrate a detailed knowledge of the actual place. Bunker’s Hill, upon which the Sirius building now sits, was once a separate residential area from The Rocks where substantial cottages, villas and townhouses were erected by wealthy merchants including the Campbell family. Lower Fort Street still contains vestiges of this housing stock. The scale of the buildings on Bunker’s Hill can be seen in Conrad Marten’s 1857 painting Campbell’s Wharf held in the National Gallery of Australia. Martens also painted views from Bunker’s Hill looking towards Government House and Circular Quay, as did other artists.

This was somewhat unremarkably in itself, the arrival of the plague had been duly anticipated by authorities for months prior as it raced through Hong Kong and New Caledonia. What was notably, however, was the wave of public panic that the outbreak prompted, and how it was responsible for community disruption and mass demolition of one of Sydney’s oldest precincts, The Rocks and Millers Point. The outbreak bred panic and brought emphasized authoritative attention to the living conditions of the area, and much time and effort was devoted to surveying conditions and proposing subsequent remedies of improvement. State resumption of the precinct followed swiftly after the outbreak, coming into effect on 3rd May 1900, and forced quarantining of the site swiftly By the end of August1900, the followed, with areas surrounding outbreak had concluded, and the wharves being sectioned off, whilst there was only a and mass disinfection and reported 103 deaths demolition processes commencing (significantly low when soon thereafter. compared to mortality rates Over the next decade, more than from other infectious diseases of the time), the effect that it 3,800 properties were inspected, had on the reputation of The hundreds were pulled down, and Rocks and Millers Point, as hundreds of families and well as its inhabitants, was individuals were dispossessed.
