Sydney Centennial - 1888 - A Coming Of Age



1888 was The Summer Of The Height Of The Victorian Era In Old Sudney Town As It Came Into It's Own. 

It Was. A Year Of Celebrations For Sydney As It reached Is First Milestone Of 100 Years Of Settlement From The Furst Fleet Arriving With Captain Arthur Phillip In 1788. 

All The Builders Were Making Every Human Effort To Have Their Buildings Finished In That Year So Those Maguc numerals of 1888 Could Be Carved Iver Doorways, And Carved Into The Centrepiece Stones Of Their Magnificent Achievements. 

By The End Of The Centennial Year 1888, Sydney City Had Grown To 2,645 Acres, Amd There was Scarcely Any Building Left That Was Made Out Of Timber
