After an absence of several years we am back researching my convict - William Jarvis. We seem to have most of the trail complete now from his birth through his activities before, during and after being a convict and on to his death in Victoria but we am looking for some details of what Sydney/Port Jackson would have been like when he arrived in 1838. The things we am looking for are - were the streets paved? Were there ferries/boats plying along the harbour? Where the streets lit at night? Etc. Can anyone point in the direction where we can find this sort of information? It maybe a bit of topic but similar info for Wollongong and the Illawarra generally.
