[QUOTE="boobook, post: 121666, member: 1605"] Quite a few years ago a mate bought an old house in Sydney. Amongst other interesting things in there was a copy of the Holtermann Sydney Panorama 1875 taken from his tower. Measuring about 4'6"x2' on hardboard, it has the full panorama of 23 plates along the bottom and enlarged plates 7-11 across the top. Mate was going to throw it out, has no sense of nostalgia. It now happily hangs from our dining room wall and always a source of interest to visitors. I also have the 3 volumes of The Hill End Story (Harry Hodge) which has many good reproductions of the photographic work of Beaufoy Merlin. In the late 80's NPWS decided to lease quite a few of the old Hill End cottages. We contemplated this, but the conditions were too onerous. Still have the catalogue around somewhere. The infamous Tim Moore was the then Minister. Mike [/QUOTE]
