These are pictures taken in and around a historic Sydney house on a cold wet winter afternoon.

This building was the home of William Charles Wentworth and his famly in the 1820s and 1830s. Wentworth was the "bastard son of of a highway robber by a convict whore" and his wife Sarah was a "currency lass". Wentworth became wealthy and influentual, but his background, and his wife's, meant he was not accepted into Sydney society at the time, although his fame and family have lasted better than such attitudes. There is a theory that this house somehow reflects the frustration that the Wentworths experienced. There is a heap of information about him, his family and this house to be found via Google.
