25.01.2022 Heres a helicopter perspective on the greatest event of mid 19c Australia Music by Serge Narcissoff
25.01.2022 The architectural style of this hotel is interesting. The building addresses the corner in a neat way. The faade and facias are taken around the corner as if the elevation is bent around it. On the corner there is a door on the ground floor and windows on the floors above. The curve of the wall was carried into both the doors and windows. The windows and the doors themselves are all built as arcs on plan with the same radial centre as the wall. It is a neat piece of joinery in scale and form. A lot of these buildings have gone but the Lord Nelson stands as a proud example of this intelligent architectural form. Ref Professor J M Freeland

The churchs plan was 90 feet by 35 feet and fronted the main road the Princes Highway. The church was consecrated on 26 December 1840.
