On the 6th October 2017 the University of Newcastle (Australia)’s Natural History Illustration Field Studies & Culture Class NHIL3004 visited the historic sites of Newcastle. Under the supervision of Dr Bernadette Drabsch, the students were introduced to a variety of important places on a walking tour including Christ Church Cathedral, the former Parsonage site, the former Newcastle Court House, Rose Cottage, James Fletcher Hospital Site, former military barracks site, Exchange and former Town Hall Chambers in Watt Street, Customs House, Cornish Dock, Macquarie Pier and Fort Scratchley. Their history guides were Dr Ann Hardy and Gionni Di Gravio. This work forms part of the greater initiative of the GLAMx Living Histories Site Documentation Team.
