WEEK 28 "Old"

Occasionally I feel it's ok to cheat and post and old pic if it's cool/relevant enough. This is called the "Nurses Walk" in Sidney AUS. The background starts with the knowledge that convicts were the first to settle Australia. Here's the other part of the history...

Many of the 736 convicts who survived the voyage of the First Fleet from Portsmouth, England arrived suffering from, dysentery, smallpox, scurvy, and typhoid. Soon after landing Governor Phillip and Surgeon-General John White established a tent hospital along what is now George Street in The Rocks to care for the worst cases. Subsequent convict boatloads had even higher rates of death and disease. A portable hospital which was prefabricated in England from wood and copper arrived in Sydney with the Second Fleet in 1790. Current day 'Nurses Walk' in The Rocks cuts across where the site of the early hospital once was.
