Annandale Aqueducts and Viaducts
A walk/talk illustrating this year's History Week theme of 'Memory and Landscapes'
90 minute tour given by author of Australia Road blog (Robin). The Walk/Talk will be given on two dates (same walk & talk each time).
Tour Dates, choose one:
Wednesday, 4 September 2019
10.30 am to 12 noon
or
Saturday, 7 September 2019
10.30 am to 12 noon
Location: Smith, Hogan and Spindlers Park
Taylor Street, Annandale
Meet under the arches of the white-coloured aqueduct, half-way into the park. (Approx. half a kilometre from Light Rail Station Jubilee Park.)
We'll take a look at this landscape where classical arches add beauty. The park's landscape has transformed many times in the last 250 years. Waterways used by Indigenous residents were taken over by industry; today you can see ecosystem restoration. We'll hear about people who devoted themselves to influencing the landscape here.
History Week is sponsored by the History Council of New South Wales
