We stopped at Rockdale Plaza for a cuppa and then headed for the traffic on Southern Cross Drive. Slow, slow, slow. We turned left at the end of the Drive and Ted somehow wended his way through traffic at Zetland, Beaconsfield, Waterloo, Redfern and we entered The Rocks area along Hickson Roa~. Mary met the guide at the Sydney Sailors Home, which is now the Visitors Centre, and we were directed down to the waterfront to look at the back of Cadman's Cottage. This is the oldest dwelling in the City of Sydney, built in 1816 as The Coxswain's Barracks, part of the / Government Dockyard. It was designed by Francis Greenway who lived across the road in George Street. Our guide informed us that there are plans to show where the waterline used to be, right near the house, and quite a few feet below. Part of the original 1818 sandstone wall of the dockyard forms the retaining wall of George Street. ---.- Our eyes, of course, were very aware that Cadman's Cottage was beside the Sydney Sailors Home, and from our vantage point we could easily see the stonework which was in readiness for the huge extensions that never happened, and if it had gone ahead it was obvious that Cadman's Cottage would have been demolished. The extensions in 1926 that had been made possible by the legacy of Mary Carss was at the George Street face and along most of the northern side. We were able to add to the guide's information about the Carss family. On the north side of the Sailors Home is the 1857 Mariner's Church designed in classical revival style by John Bibb but has been spoilt by extensions. The brick and stucco top floor was added in 1909. A restaurant was set up on the balcony but that business did not prove successfu1. We drove past the Passenger Terminal which was built in 1964 (replacing the original 1938 one), then re-modelled and shortened in 1987. Perhaps it will shrink even further, but we do have to keep this spot for the ships which cannot fit under our Bridge. Looking over Campbell's Cove was very pleasant. The old paddle steamer and The Bounty were moored nearby, and the pleasant lines of the Park Hyatt Hotel which blended into the background. Robert Campbell's stalely Wharf House was built' in '1'803'at -CamPOellSLOVe:- ana som-to tne-- -. --- --• Australasian Steam Navigation Co in 1876, who demolished the house to build the ASN Co stores. Fortunately the old stone Campbell's Stores survived, and a second storey added in 1890 of brick in a similar colour. These Stores are full of restaurants. Ted drove our little van into Atherden Street with a rock wall dead end, Sydney's shortest street. Our guide told us of an elderly lady who had lived in each of the terrace houses. Someone asked why the name of Avery Terrace was used, and it was the surname of the elderly lady. In this street is the Westpac Museum which opened in 1987 to commemorate the 170th anniversary of the opening of Australia's first bank, the Bank of New South Wales in 1817. The sandstone 3 sculpture crafted by Bud Dumas in 1979 is called First Impressions; the figures on three sides are of a convict, family and soldier. In George Street, The Earth Exchange building used to be the Geological and Mining Musewn, which set out to be in 1902 an electric light power station designed by Walter Vernon, but was never used.

  • 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.

    t'tk Office of NSW-- Environment GOVERNMENT & Heritage ED18/314 018/11242 The Hon Paul Green MLC Committee Chair Portfolio Committee No 6 - Planning and Environment Parliament House Macquarie Street SYDNEY NSW 2000 By email: [email protected] Dear Mr Green Thank you for your letter about the inquiry into the music and arts economy in NSW. I appreciate the opportunity to provide a submission on behalf of the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH). I attach a list of music and arts venues listed on the State Heritage Register (SHR) under the Heritage Act 1977. It includes cafes, restaurants, bars, gallery spaces and live music venues. This list is indicative only and is based on current use information recorded in the OEH's statutory heritage database, which does not always accurately reflect the various iterations and mixed uses of SHR items. The list shows venues listed on the SHR only. Venues operating out of heritage-listed premises protected under local environmental plans at the local government level are not included. OEH does not collect or hold data that would allow it to report on the number of music and arts venues that have been 'lost' over the past 20 years. The Basement operates from the modern commercial building at 7 Macquarie Place Sydney. This property is not listed on the SHR and therefore is not protected under the Heritage Act. I note the committee's interest in heritage listing or an equivalent statutory mechanism to protect iconic music venues in NSW, and specifically to prevent their closure.

  • GNB Walsh Bay Name Application 22 Feb 2018
    Walsh Bay Application for Naming a Suburb To the Geographical Names Board of NSW From the Walsh Bay Precinct Association 22 February 2018 Contact Sharelle Johnson Manage-Meant Pty Ltd (Walsh Bay Precinct Management) L1 18 Hickson Road, Dawes Point, NSW 2000 [email protected] 0499 593 004 Synopsis Walsh Bay was built after 1910 as cargo wharves and warehouses. In 1989, the area was gazetted as a conservation zone (SREP 16). Now it is divided between two suburbs—Millers Point and Dawes Point—gazetted in 1993. Since 2002, when Walsh Bay was redeveloped for new residents and commercial/cultural workers, this dissection has caused many addressing confusions. Local cohesion would increase and addressing would be simplified if Walsh Bay was named as another suburb of Sydney postcode 2000. A new Walsh Bay suburb boundary should match the existing Walsh Bay conservation zone as still defined in the Sydney Regional Environmental Plan No.16–Walsh Bay (1989–2009).
