Hi Cathy You wrote off-list - but I will reply to the PJ List - as others might have an interest: I wrote: Illustration: Sydney in 1803 - buildings visible... You asked: Does the book give an image/drawing ??? No, not specifically of the cemetery grounds per se. Only an illustration of 'A Relic of Early George Street' [as per caption]- which refers to a 'gravestone here sketched was found in Bethel Street about 30 years ago [?c1890]. It was used as a paving stone, and had probably been moved from the first cemetery nearby for that purpose.' A possible reference is if you go to: http://image.sl.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/ebindshow.pl?doc=crux/a127;seq=83 - the Crux - rare maps from the State Library of NSW are online. You will see the 'Sketch of Sydney Cove, Port Jackson in the County of Cumberland, New South Wales, July 1788'. That map has been reproduced in the Bertie book which he captions as 'Sydney Cove in July 1788'....and stated: 'Where the figures 8 and 9 appear on the left-hand side was a level strip of land which Governor Phillip planted some of his public buildings. The building just below 9 was the first HOSPITAL, what stood in what is now George Street, near Globe Street. On the lower 8 the storehouses were built. The figure 4 shows the line of what was to be the principal street, which was to be 200 feet wide. All the Cove from the head near the letter B to the figure 4 1/2 has been filled up, and the end of Pitt Street is now close to that figure. Perhaps a better early cadastral map which shows all the known rivers e.g. George's River; Cook's River etc & extensive list of Districts including Parramatta/ Hawkesbury Settlement / Toongabbee / Sydney Cove/ Port Jackson/ Field of Mars/ Eastern Boundary / Field of Concord/ Petersham / Profpect Hill (sic Prospect) / Hunters Hill / Liberty Plains/ York Place / Mulgrave Place / Bulanaming / and so on. This is located on the same website are Maps associated with Flinder's voyages. You might have to Zoom up the image to read some of the text. It is called 'A Topographical Plan of the Settlements of New South Wales, including Port Jackson, Botany Bay, and Broken Bay Surveyed by Mefsrs [Messrs] Grimes & Flinders. Communicated by Lt Col. Paterson, of the New South Wales Corps'. There is another map copyright to the State Library of NSW - Mitchell Library which is of a 'Sketch & Description of the Settlement at SYDNEY COVE PORT JACKSON in the COUNTY of CUMBERLAND taken by a tranported Convict on the 16th of April, 1788 which was not quite 3 months after Commodore Phillips landed there.' Ref ZMB2 811.17/1788/1. It is quite detailed and if you Zoom it up - you should be able to read the 11 x Ship's Names and the References list matching a letter from the Alphabet with the location. Several tall ships are sketched in the Harbour - which may correspond to the 11 ships mentioned earlier. The biggest feature shown, apart from the Bay and Cove, is the FARM. Buildings are coloured in red (which is handy) and the ships appear scaled to their actual size (if you follow what I mean). E.G. Description provided by the State Library NSW online catalogue and partially reproduced below: CALL NO: Mitchell Library ZM3 811.1/1799/1 'Cadastral map showing plots of land and plot number.
