First up is a birds eye view of the city from 1888. A splendid painting of the city at that time.
And below is my interpretation.
A view from the west of Sydney |
Circular Quay and Fort Macquarie |
Another western view |
Observatory Hill |
Fort Denison |
Governor General's House |
Hyde Park Barracks |
Hyde Park Barracks with troops |
Fort Denison with artillery and troops |
Fort Macquarie with troops and artillery |
The Secret Radium Guns hiding under the domes of the observatory |
Reinforcements from Victoria Barracks and Parramatta practice their march into Sydney in case of an invasion |
First time into the city is a KANGAROO |
Dawes Point Battery aims out to the harbour. |
Wonderful. Sydney looks well defended.

ReplyDeleteNice looking set up!
ReplyDeleteLike the 'island fort' and use of 'toy stuff' for terrain...
Thanks Captain.
