We are asked that, to understand the "Rum Rebellion", we need to understand the Sydney of the day and Europe of the time.   George and Ester had met on board ship. Ester Abrahams was a convict being transported to NSW with her baby daughter, Rosanna.  George Johnston was a Veteran of the American Civil War, where he grabbed the flag from the previous flag bearer - his own dying https://perambuler.ramin.com.au/2024/12/rum-rebellion-literature-search.html

"The upshot of the rebellion was that Bligh returned to England and Macarthur, and others, who had seized on the available opportunities continued to prosper and help build the commercial viability of the developing colony. So that’s one face of the Rum Rebellion/Rum Corps, the emergence of an at-times ruthless (even murderous) entrepreneurial spirit thatfacilitated the development of Australia’s https://perambuler.ramin.com.au/2024/12/rum-rebellion-2025-production-ai.html

Illustration displayed shortly arrest of Bligh 26/1/1808, SLNSW On Australia Day, the 26th January 1808 a Military Coup took place. The NSW ex-Marine Corp were cebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Colony at Sydney Cove..

In January 1788 the first fleet, with its convict cargo, anchored in Botany Bay. The Bay had been recommended by Cook(possibly at Bank’s prompting) as suitable for a penal colony. In April 1770, Cook named the Bay after the abundance of Sting Rays he found there. But  changed his journal entry to Botany Bay.

The leadership, of the First Fleet, found the Bay unsuitable for settlement and, after further investigation, chose Port Jackson. Cook had also described the Port. Doctor John White’s journal1 notes, the alternate place was picked for its source of water. But maybe, no inhabitants were seen in the hot January Sun and the inhabitants may have thought the fleet had left. Inhabitants are noted crossing the Port at night.....

The RAN was not created until 1909, after Allen Taylor of Annandale, had raised enough funds to buy a Dreadnought Ship for the Royal Navy.
The donors did not want their money back. It funded the Dreadnought Scheme  which promoted and assisted British youths  to come to Australia to provide labour on farms..

Captain Cook's Journal During the First Voyage Round the World: "[At Anchor, Botany Bay, New South Wales.]

Sunday, 29th. [April 1770)In the P.M. wind Southerly and Clear weather, with which we stood into the bay and Anchored under the South shore about 2 miles within the Entrance in 5 fathoms, the South point bearing South-East and the North point East. Saw, as we came in, on both points of the bay, several of the Natives and a few hutts; Men, Women, and Children on the South Shore abreast of the Ship, to which place I went in the Boats in hopes of speaking with them, accompanied by Mr. Banks, Dr. Solander, and Tupia. As we approached the Shore they all made off, except 2 Men, who seem'd resolved to oppose our landing."..

"Sunday, 6th. [May 1770]    In the evening the Yawl return'd from fishing, having Caught 2 Sting rays weighing near 600 pounds. The great quantity of plants Mr. Banks and Dr. Solander found in this place occasioned my giving it the Name of Botany Bay.* (* The Bay was at first called Stingray Bay. The plan of it at the Admiralty is called by this name, and none of the logs know Botany Bay. It seems probable that Cook finally settled on the name after the ship left, and when Banks had had time to examine his collections" ..Project Gutenberg, viewed 28 Jan 2025,https://www.gutenberg.org/files/8106/8106-h/8106-h.htm

White's Creek Catchment in the Rain

Checked out White's Creek Catchment in the rain with a few long time residents including an 82 year old who was born at the Private Hospital where the Leichhardt Bolo is and moved to where she lives now when she was 1. She has seen a few changes and people come and go.    Ferris Lane looked fabulous!    The new lintel in Ferris Street seemed to be working well - residents have worked with council to make this happen along with cleaning out nearby drains and gutters.   Evan Jones Playground had a tree down. And a few other trees need mulching.     Water was flowing out of the grate where Styles Street crosses White's Creek and different drivers approached the puddle. The 150 year old salt glazed pipe was still working too!    Photos and Videos at https://www.instagram.com/p/CMvolNkD2Pb/

Len and Dilys Williams and the Hunter Baillie Presbyterian Church

The Rev. Leonard Mervyn Williams and his wife Dilys came to the Hunter Baillie in 1956. The church was in decline and the threat of falling masonry had made it impossible to obtain public liability insurance. (p39, Hunter Baillie ) Dilys conducted alternate services at Leichhardt and Hunter Baillie Presbyterian churches with her husband and was inducted, in 1969, as the first woman Elder in NSW. (p41, Hunter Baillie ). Ferguson Library Archivist mentioned in her talk at the church on 4 September 2010, that Dilys Williams in the 1930s had applied to the Presbyterian Church of Australia General Assembly to be Accepted as a candidate for the Ministry. Her application was "laid on the table" and was never dealt with. The stained glass window on the northern side of the church was restored in memory of the Williams' time at the church. "Back in the 1950's after first attending Sunday School in the morning the older children were then taken into the chu...
