    What really stands out is the enormous amount of growth Sydney must have experienced in the first 100 years of colonisation. The whole of Sydney must have been one long continuous construction zone. Imagine the logistics of hauling sandstone blocks from quarries, timber, roofing materials etc. The labour required to build houses, churches, shops, schools, roads, bridges and everything else to make a settlement work. Continual noise, dust and disruption. Just amazing what people achieved in the first 100 years.

      Yes. Or alternatively, Sydney wasn't "founded", by the British, it was found? Read the description of Sydney from the 1818 journals of the Freycinet visit to Sydney. The description was not of a struggling penal colony, but of a substantial and impressive city. Is our history a lie? Was there a reset in the 19th Century and history rewritten? I don't know, but there is enough to suggest that might be a real possibility.

      ⁠@@gregoryjohn4no, you’re a victim to those that want to erase history and get us to question everything for the purpose of destabilising our society. Look up Anatoly Fomenko, and do a deep dive into Soviet and Russian Federation Hybrid Warfare, Active Measures and the four stages of demoralisation as discussed by Yuri Bezmenov. This may equip you with a sense of skepticism regarding ‘alternative history’ theories but may also make you extremely paranoid and realise how far demoralisation has actually eroded western civilisation already.

    Thanks for making this and publishing it; it's excellent. It interests me how Sydney became such a 'green' city ... so many older cities around the world filled every square inch with buildings long before anyone thought a park might be a nice idea. Cities like London and Paris are the exceptions because they were the 'seat of empire' ... showing off their wealth. Sydney was also lucky that fear of the French kept a lot of the harbour foreshore reserved for the military ... and it was then later available for public access rather than sold off.

    It's so sad to see Sydney in its current state with the most hideous modern buildings and skyscrapers. Completely decimates the charming old stone buildings. Sydney would have looked so much nicer if the architecture was persevered.
    And why can't we build these quaint stone buildings today instead of the modern ones. Surely we have the technology to recreate the stone carving details etc.

    I grew up in Glebe from the late 50s..Lived at 248 Glebe Point road for 25 years. I am now 67. My mates & I use to play on the logs down near Jubilee Park on the Bay. I witnessed many a beautiful building demolished in the 70s for flats. Watched a beautiful big fig tree cut down on 254 Glebe Point Rd. I still love Glebe and remember the demo's to preserve its heritage and felt proud to be part of that heritage. Once a suburb of colourful characters and working class people. Us kids made Billy carts, ran through new flats underconstruction& lamented the loss of the old buildings. Vale Jack Mundey and I salute the Glebe society.

    While there were a few nice bits, that panorama depicts a mostly squalid, and extremely ugly and unexciting city. We are fortunate that the city has changed as much as it has. I live in a tower, just 10 minutes walk from the Sydney Town Hall, so this is my neighborhood. I love walking these streets now, but if it looked like the city of that panorama, I would have migrated. Probably to a south European city, maybe Mexico City, Paris, Beunos Aires. So many cities that were already architecturally exciting back then, but Sydney, I could not have loved if it looked like that.

    Why we paying respect to the Gadigal people? They were at constant war with the aboriginals on the other side of the harbour who spoke another language and of whom in fact could have had their land stolen by the gadigal people but in any case the land was stolen from the Australian Pygmy by the Gadigal and others. Also, the people who migrated here in those days were settlers NOT migrants because Australia was a British colony. I find this woke stuff quite offensive and its both anti intellectual and disinformation.

      My parents are migrants from asia. If it wasn’t for British settlers Australia would still be a third world country or have been overrun by another foreign power. We must correctly acknowledge the contribution by the europeans and all who arrived afterwards.
