Saturday last , the 26th of January, being the thirty-fourth Anniversary of the Colony of New South Wales having been first formed and established by Governor Phillip, the ROYAL STANDARD of the BRITISH REALMS became majestically unfurled on the heights of Fort Phillip at sun-rise....The Union at Dawe's Battery was also displayed. the ships in the harbour were not backward in paying the accustomed honour due to a day so distinguished in our Colonial annuls. At noon thirty -four minute guns were fired from Dawe's Battery on the memorable occasion. " best wishes Jenny Fawcett
