Growing up at Elizabeth Farm
Life was 'different' for the privileged children of John and Elizabeth Macarthur, growing up on Elizabeth Farm, near Parramatta, Sydney. Curator Scott Hill tells us why.

VLOG: A Morning Walk Around Elizabeth Farm
Literally... a walk AROUND.
There's an entrance fee to the farm, and considering that I just came from the gym, I had no money on me!
Elizabeth Farm is a gorgeous little Living Museum less than 2 blocks from my home, and it's the oldest surviving homestead in Australia.
I acknowledge that this land I speak of and film, was stolen. That the owners of the land on which I live and thrive is the Burramattagal people, a clan of the Dharug, and is administered by the Deerubbin Aboriginal Lands Council. I pay my respects to the elders past and present, and hope that one day a treaty can begin to heal a fraction of the pain and suffering that my racial ancestors inflicted on the custodians of this beautiful country I call home.

Belgenny Farm, Camden N.S.W. (Home Of Australian Agriculture)
A short video about Belgenny Farm c.1820 in Camden N.S.W. Australia, the birthplace of Australian Agriculture.
The farm dates back to 1820 and was the place where John and Elizabeth Macarthur first bred the world-famous merino sheep.
It is also Australia's first vineyard and the largest collection of old wooden buildings in the country.
A fascinating glimpse into Australia's colonial and convict past, the farm is now available for weddings, functions, conferences, tourist groups, school groups and is also host to special Open Days including Mother's Day, Father's Day and Christmas Day.
Sydney by boat, Paramatta River, Elisabeth Farm, Opera
Sydney Harbor Bridge, Paramatta River, Elisabeth Farm, Opera House. My trip in November 07. I am travelling with a boat along the Paramatta River and see some interesting things along the way. It amazed me how much waterways Sydney possesses. Elisabeth Farm is the oldest European settlement in Australia, I think John McArthur lived there.

Bella Vista Hilltop Farm, An Historic Farm, Sydney
BELLA VISTA FARM
AN HISTORIC HILLTOP FARM
THE HILLS SHIRE COUNCIL
BAULKHAM HILLS
SYDNEY,AUSTRALIA
Bella Vista Farm, is an historic hilltop farm. It is set up in twenty hectares of rural landscape and located at Elizabeth Macarthur Drive, The Hills Shire Council, Baulkham Hills, Sydney, Australia.
In late1700,this hilltop farm is established.
In 1799, Major Joseph Foveaux received 960 acres in the Crestwood area and created Stock Farm of 1770 acres.
On 5 October 1801, he sold his farm with 1250 sheep to John Macarthur for 2000 pounds. As John Macarthur had to be in England, the farm was managed by John Hindle under the direction of Elizabeth Macarthur.
In 1821 Macarthurs had exchanged their “Seven Hills Farm”, with Crown land in Camden and thereby he covered 2430 acres. The land was subsequently divided into lots and taken up by Messers McDougall, Acres, Robertson and a Mrs Ward. The portion taken up by James Robertson became known as “Robertson’s Farm”.
In 1838, Isabella Acres had acquired the property from Robertson.
In 1842 William Thomas Pearce purchased approximately 200 hectares from Isabella Acres. During this period, the construction of the building had commenced.
After 1950, the property of the Pearce family was sold to the North Sydney Tile and Brick Company.
Bella Vista Farm was transferred into Council ownership in 1998. Council has adopted a Conservation Management Plan for the site. The plan aims to facilitate the restoration and long-term conservation of the property and provide for a range of complementary uses.
Windsor, Sydney, Australia
Vamos a conocer Windsor Town - Macquarie - Hawkesbury - SYDNEY - Australia
Windsor llamado así por Windsor de Inglaterra #windsor sussex inglaterra donde se casaron el #PrincipeHarry (Prince Harry) y #MeghanMarkle #kensignton #RoyalWedding 2018. Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Windsor es una ciudad situada al noroeste de Sydney, Nueva Gales del Sur, Australia. Windsor fue nombrado por el gobernador Lachlan Macquarie después de Windsor, hogar de Windsor Castle y Eton College, en Inglaterra. Macquarie más tarde señaló: Una gran fiesta de amigos cenó con nosotros hoy, que consiste en las 21 personas, incluida nuestra propia familia. - Después de la cena bauticé los nuevos municipios, bebiendo un parachoques para el éxito de cada uno. de Windsor a la Ciudad que se pretende erigir en el Distrito de Green Hills, en la continuación de la actual Villa, de la similitud de esta situación con la del mismo nombre en Inglaterra . Antes de la intervención de Macquarie se llamaba Green Hills cuando, en 1794, 22 colonos tomaron tierra y se construyó un camino desde Sydney hasta el asentamiento. Windsor se encuentra en el área del gobierno local de la ciudad de Hawkesbury. Se encuentra en el río Hawkesbury, en las afueras al noroeste del área metropolitana de Sydney. Con senderos históricos, cruceros fluviales y sabrosas delicias, el histórico Windsor es un escape pintoresco en la bella Hawkesbury, a solo 50 minutos en coche al noroeste del puente del puerto de Sídney. En el tercer asentamiento colonial más antiguo de Australia, comience su descubrimiento en Windsor Heritage Walk. A orillas del río Hawkesbury, Windsor alberga 21 edificios coloniales, incluido uno de los pubs más antiguos de Australia. El Macquarie Arms Hotel, construido en 1815, es el edificio más antiguo de Thompson Square, que lleva el nombre del rico emancipador Andrew Thompson, un policía, granjero y hombre de negocios.
Windsor es la ciudad más grande de Macquarie y, como tal, es el centro administrativo del área de Hawkesbury. El gobernador Lachlan Macquarie estableció las cinco ciudades de Macquarie en Hawkesbury Valley - Windsor, Richmond, Castlereagh, Wilberforce y Pitt Town en 1810. Aunque la ciudad es rica en edificios históricos (sería fácil pasar un día explorando todos los edificios del siglo XIX en la ciudad) existe la creencia de que, como la ciudad más grande, ha sufrido más severamente del desarrollo moderno. El puente moderno el amplio camino alrededor de la ciudad que mezcla casas históricas con estaciones de servicio; los centros comerciales modernos y la incapacidad de mantener aislada la ciudad histórica, han comprometido la importancia histórica de la ciudad. Sin embargo, edificios emblemáticos como la Iglesia de San Mateo, el Palacio de Justicia, los observatorios de Tebbut, la Plaza Thompson y muchos otros edificios ofrecen una visión de la vida en el tercer asentamiento de la colonia.
La bonita plaza es uno de los mejores ejemplos de una plaza georgiana en Australia. Otra espléndida arquitectura incluye la Iglesia Anglicana de San Mateo y la Casa de la Corte de Windsor, ambas diseñadas por el famoso arquitecto colonial Francis Greenway, quien llegó a la colonia en 1814 como convicto.
Explore el notable patrimonio en una caminata autoguiada o únase a un recorrido con Hawkesbury Valley Heritage Tours y Hawkesbury Sightseeing Tours. Además del patrimonio colonial, descubrirás un rico patrimonio cultural indígena de los aborígenes Darug en el Museo Regional de Hawkesbury.
Otras cosas maravillosas para hacer incluyen un crucero por el río a bordo del Hawkesbury Paddlewheeler. Una escena vibrante de las artes y la cultura también es un drawcard. La Galería Regional de Hawkesbury ofrece exhibiciones cautivadoras y el divertido calendario de eventos incluye el Festival de Blues y Roots de Sydney en octubre. Windsor es una base ideal para explorar los senderos regionales de comida y vino, como Hawkesbury Harvest Farm Gate Trail. Elija también entre una tentadora variedad de restaurantes en Windsor y saboree el almuerzo en un crucero por el río. Encontrará muchas opciones de alojamiento, incluido el Crowne Plaza Hawkesbury Valley junto al agua.

Belgenny Farm - Macquarie bicentennial
In November 1810 Governor Lachlan Macquarie and Mrs Elizabeth Macquarie visited the cowpastures. Two hundred years later the current Governor of NSW, Marie Bashir, visited the same locality and descendents of the Macarthur family and the Dharawal people. This video records this important commemoration event for the history of Australia.
Parramatta Sydney Then and Now
A video I made as part of my Year 12 Visual Arts major work comparing scenes around Parramatta Sydney, using footage from a 1957 film in the National Film and Sound Archive’s collection and my own footage taken in the same locations 61 years later, side by side.
1957 footage, History was Made at Parramatta: Australia Colour Diary 4 from the NFSA can be viewed here:
My footage was filmed between January and April 2018 on a Sony RX100 Mk 3 camera and this video was edited and put together using Adobe After Effects.
LOCATIONS WITH TIMESTAMPS:
0:06 aerial shot. 1957 – I am unsure what direction this is looking, maybe South-West? If you recognise where this is, or what direction it is facing please comment below. 2018 – filmed from the Meriton Altitude Apartments in Church Street looking towards Sydney CBD.
0:11 Church Street pan shot, looking South. Some of the original buildings remain on the right. In the distance you can see the side of the twin spires of St John's Anglican Church. The street is now a single one way lane at this section.
0:18 1957 - Grace Bros Department store. 2018 - Westfield Shopping Centre, corner of Argyle and Church Streets.
0:21 1957 – Holden House/Fair Deal Holden. 2018 – building abandoned for new apartment buildings development, 65 Church Street/Great Western Highway. You can still see the place where the Holden sign once was, on the top right.
0:25 1957 – Parramatta and Granville Electrical Supply Company building. 2018 – Office building, corner of Macquarie and Smith Streets.
0:28 James Houison’s cottage, 62 Macquarie Street. Now surrounded by tall buildings and used as Ray White office.
0:37 Roseneath Cottage, corner O’Connell and Ross Streets.
0:43 Elizabeth Farm. In the original film, the first two shots were filmed from the back of the house, however today this view is obscured by trees in front of the stone wall. Instead I filmed from the front of the house on Alice Street which is visually similar when the footage was flipped later in editing (you can notice this with the reversed lettering on the sign in my footage).
0:53 Old Government House, Parramatta Park
0:56 The Governor’s Bath House, Parramatta Park. On the left in both years is the Boer War Memorial and Court House pillars.
0:58 Corner of Church and Palmer Streets. 1957 – Congregational Church. 2018 - Bridal Secrets shop.
1:02 All Saints Anglican Church, Victoria Road/Elizabeth Street.
1:13 Queens Wharf Reserve sandstone wharf by the Parramatta River. I filmed a few metres further up from the 1957 film, as the view of the river is now obscured by trees in that position. The original sandstone blocks are now in amongst a muddy mangrove and can still be seen at times when the tide is out. The metal rings are gone.
1:22 Boundary marker stone on Alfred Street, near Weston Street. One of nine in Parramatta. The stone was moved away from the kerb because of cars damaging it.
1:28 The Old King's School building and parade grounds, 24A O’Connell Street. It is now O’Connell Street Public School (filmed with permission).
1:55 Wistaria Gardens, next to Parramatta Park and part of the Cumberland Hospital. Unfortunately because of the timing of the HSC year, I was unable to film this in Spring when the Wisteria flowers were out, as seen in the 1957 film.
2:14 Speed boat races on the Parramatta River at Silverwater/Ermington, near the Silverwater Bridge. 1957 – Silverwater Naval Stores. 2018 – Unit blocks
2:33 1957 - aerial shot of Pennant Hills Road, near James Ruse Drive. 2018 – aerial shot looking at Victoria Road, from the Meriton Altitude Apartments on Church Street.
2:34 1957 – I am unsure what direction this is looking, aerial shot looking somewhere west, towards the Blue Mountains? 2018 – aerial shot looking north-east, from the Meriton Altitude Apartments on Church Street.
2:39 1957 – A Reddit user identified this house as 107 Bettington Road Oatlands, near the Oatlands Golf Club entrance. 2018- aerial of buildings, Parramatta wharf and Macarthur Street Bridge from the Meriton Altitude Apartments on Church Street.
2:42 1957 – Cooramilla. I think this house might be at 114 Pennant Hills Road, Oatlands. 2018 – pan shot of the Meriton Altitude Apartments in Church Street which is where the David Jones once was.
