Japanese submarine attack 1942

Often warned of the possibility of invasion, Sydneysiders were to experience the real thing in 1942 when three Japanese midget submarines slipped into the harbour, destroying the naval ship HMAS Kuttabul.

Fowles, Joseph

Farmer, businessman, racing enthusiast, Joseph Fowles was also a successful artist, who left a visual record of Sydney in 1848 that remains invaluable to historians.

Bradleys Head

Extending like a long finger into the harbour, Bradleys Head was known as Borogegy to its first people, the Borogegal clan. Long a military and naval site for the colonial and later the Australian government, it became a popular park and an important part of Sydney Harbour's remnant bushland.
