Macquarie, Lachlan

Governor of New South Wales from 1810 to 1821, Macquarie shaped Sydney's built environment, social structure, financial development and public morals.

Botany

Visited by James Cook and Joseph Banks in 1770, but rejected as a site for the colony in 1788 by Arthur Phillip, Botany remained an important source of water and a site for varied industry throughout the nineteenth century, before becoming a transport hub in the twentieth. Throughout, a close-knit community has survived.
