Description

Unique IDA-00272580SeriesNewsclippings BooksDate11th August 1963FormatNewscuttingDescriptionWhere DID Sydney start? The proposal by the Sydney City Council to erect a commemorative plaque at the place where Governor Phillip first raised the British flag in Australia has started a high-level historical argument. The trouble is no one knows where Phillip did this, and unless research uncovers some unknown document or clue, we are not likely to know. (An early map of Sydney Cove. An engraving, from a painting by Edward Dayes, (1763-1804), provides a powerful argument for the claims of the West side. A photo of the spot today.) (SMH)LanguageEnglish (eng)
