Sydney Branch: Christmas party

1 December @ 11:00 am AEDT

Join us for a relaxed end-of-year gathering in delightful surroundings. Wander around this wonderful historic garden, home to the Downes family since the 1860s and prior to that, to the Macleay family of Elizabeth Bay House. AGHS Sydney branch members Gina Plate, James Quoyle and Colleen Morris did a detailed recording of its rich garden in 2014. It is a rare, substantially intact colonial farming estate, with layout and some plantings pre-1860, other elements 1830s and 1840s. Its built elements like homestead, ornamental dam, outbuildings such as elaborate stables, aviary, sundial add much interest.

Then we’ll have lunch together at leisure.
