Windmills of Sydney

In the late eighteenth century, and well into the nineteenth century, the tallest structures around Sydney Cove were windmills. They left few physical remains, yet their presence left a lasting legacy in early colonial landscape art and the minds and hearts of many contemporaries.

Camperdown

Inner-western suburb, home to the University of Sydney and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, as well as high-density residential dwellings, mainly gentrified workers' terraces and apartment buildings. It is named after a naval battle in which Governor Bligh took part in 1797.
