Sydney Observatory, established in 1858, sits proudly at the crest of the inner city's highest hill. Now known as Observatory Hill, it had past names as a significant bulga for the Darug people, and through several phases of settler colonist use: Windmill Hill, Fort Phillip, Flagstaff Hill. This location has had specific implications for the functioning of the Observatory.

In this talk, Associate Professor Nancy Cushing will draw upon official reports, letters and diaries written by the astronomers to explore how their activities were affected by the light, smoke, dust and vibrations generated by the surrounding city, and how they bargained, blustered and innovated to ensure that valuable work could be undertaken there.

This event is being presented with the support of the History Council of NSW through their Speaker Connect program, for History Week 2021.

Free online event - everyone welcome.
