Way Terrace was built in the 1920's as workers' housing by the city. Situated on top of a gentle slope, it commands a lovely view of the skyline, Harbour Bridge, and the water.

Elizabeth Bay House was designed as the "finest house in colony" by the Colonial Secretary, Alexander Macleay. It overlooked the ocean and still remains unfinished today, as the expensive endeavour financially ruined him. Macleay's eldest son foreclosed on him in 1845.

He spent great expense in expanding his collection through auction purchases. It was so extensive that British natural scientists even paid him to access his collection. http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0146.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0158.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0162.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0159.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0172.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0179.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0189.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0188.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0193.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0199.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0222.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0230.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0235.jpg The house has 2 large and separate cellars, which housed wines, dairy, and coal storage. http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0246.jpg Vaucluse House was built by William Charles Wentworth. http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0263.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0507.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0279.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0289.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0286.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0296.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0301.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0307.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0328.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0336.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0338.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0344.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0353.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0358.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0350.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0361.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0372.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0380.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0400.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0439.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0442.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0454.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0449.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0451.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0456.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0460.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...1/IMG_0457.jpg |

Rhodes is situated on a peninsula between Brays and Homebush Bays, 14 km west of the CBD. Originally an industrial area from the 1900's to the early 1970's where hazardous chemicals were handled, the peninsula's changed through reclamation with industrial waste. Decontamination works have allowed redevelopments into residential use. http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1812.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1818.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1824.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1827.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1837.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1838.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1842.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1843.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1845.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1849.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1847.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1853.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1856.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1860.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1869.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1886.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1893.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1880.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1902.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1910.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1912.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1917.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1918.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1944.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1945.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/sydney/2...7/IMG_1960.jpg Across to the east side of the tracks, it is a different world altogether.

Susannah Place is a terrace of 4 working class homes built in 1844 by Irish immigrants. It remained continuously occupied until 1990. Today, these have been turned into a museum showcasing working class life over the past hundred years.

These huge buildings were once woolstores. Some 20 such multi-storey warehouses were built in Ultimo and Pyrmont as part of the wool export industry. Some have found new uses, such as residential.
