Unveiled in 1994, the bi-centenary of European presence (22 farms) in the formerly Aboriginal Darrug land. Windsor was the third settlement in the colony of New South Wales, after Sydney Cove and Parramatta. Governor Macquarie had plans drawn up for Windsor in 1810.
cool photos. I love all the sculptures.

ReplyDeleteThere's a Macquarie Street in most Australian cities, I believe.
Good photo. I'm surprised you haven't taken this statue before.

Have a great, hopefully now unclouded, weekend!
