We (from Cronulla Public School) went to this cottage on an excursion, around '83 to '85, I remember it well.

The acknowledgement of country was not necessary and if you were as fussy about pronunciation as you claim you'd know thatthe nautical pronunciation of coxswain is not phonetic but said as "cox'n". It is also widely known that place names in New South Wales do not contain apostrophes. The suburbs of St Marys, Milsons Point and St Peters are prime examples.

"This is a country that only got around to legalizing same sex marriage in 2017" What the hell has that got to do with the history of a bloody cottage? I was out of here at this brilliant and totally useless observation! Give this one a miss folks!

I congratulate you for getting everything right. This is also where the bodies of Alice MacKenzie and Frances Coles ended up. There's video of the interior on my channel. In 2016 I got inside before it was sealed shut.

Casula is pronounced without the SH sound... Cah-sool-ah

Right out of the box, you started with a racist, factually incorrect, bald faced lie- and things went downhill from there. Let’s start with a bit of truth telling, shall we? There was no Stone Age utopia here before the first fleet. Captain Arthur Phillip had explicit orders from the King that natives were to be treated as British subjects with all legal rights and protection, and every practical kindness- and he did his level best to carry out his orders to the letter. Aborigines frequently fought amongst themselves in their own clans, and carried out genocidal warfare against other tribes, particularly in times of droughts. Furthermore had Britain not committed to being here, Admiral LaPerouse, whose fleet arrived in Botany Bay not long after the first fleet arrived, had orders to lay claim, and the French would have colonized the eastern seaboard of Australia. Given what happened in other French colonies in this time period, and later ,it is doubtful that people of Aboriginal heritage would have survived into the 20th century . Today, if you are of Aboriginal descent and are still living in disadvantage, it is a direct result of decisions and actions of your parents and your self- because the rest of Australia has been bending over backwards to help you to help yourself for a very long time. We devote billions to giving a leg up every year to a tiny fraction of the population with the only desire being to see people step up, stand on their own feet, and own responsibility for their own lives, that we ideally want to be long, healthy and happy. If Europeans really invaded Australia in the 18th century, then the war is long over- and Aborigines lost. The people who lived in the Sydney area prior to 1788 are long dead . Their distant and only fractionally related descendants today , provably by DNA testing, are only entitled to the same fair go that every other Australian citizen is entitled to. I think we are long overdue to start living the dream of the late Dr Martin Luther King- to treat people by contents of their hearts, character and conduct, and not by their race, creed, or colour of their Skins .

Almost. I had a deep admiration for Macquarie until I learnt of the slaughter of Aboriginal men, women and children at Appin.

Great video, how about one about the battle of Brisbane in ww2?

Okay.

Feel free to say *an abandoned mortuary with a Charles Allen Lechmere Connection*. QC James Scobie says Lechmere has a prima facie to answer.

I had been there on my Year 3 city field trip

Why did you have to mention same sex marriage in a video with a historical building??? Is that the history of Australia????

gay marriage is an uninteresting novelty. and the csi tv series is mass produced american rubbish. and thank you to the great british empire for this paradise we enjoy today.

Interesting historic tid-bit. I found it interesting that you would acknowledge the indigenous owners but didn't acknowledge the 60,000 young Australian's who died and 160,000 soldiers who were captured or injured in the Great War, my Grandfather being one of them. After all, they were fighting to protect the country and the traditional owners. When I was a little boy at Central Station with my grandfather, he pointed out the chip in the marble. It was one of only a few times he ever spoke about the war. He told me that some of his mates were involved in the incidents, they all died in the war. It's sad that these young men were remembered as hooligans when in fact they were only demanding better conditions. None of the young soldiers were under the impression that there was signing up for a holiday cruise or something glamorous. The horrors of the war in Europe were well known. It's sad that there isn't a small plaque to honour the young men who were only demanding better conditions, rather, history has forgotten them.

The convention in Australian street and location signage is to drop apostrophes.

Did you know? Aborine even know songs. Always when drunk.

There are older buildings in Parramatta and Windsor and parts in between pre 1800

I was in Sydney at the end of February this year (2024) and, whilst walking around The Rocks, came across this cottage. Its location, overshadowed by a massive cruise ship, was quite extraordinary. Information was limited, so your post is really enlightening

CADMAN'S COTTAGE (with the apostrophe) at 4:34

In my time as Readers Ticket holder at the library of NSW i stumbled over a directive to John Cadman and his duties from the government. And one of them was not indeed to worry too much about any sort of small boat, but to gather up any sets of oars or any large piece of cloth that could be used as a sail and 'Hold them in a secure place overnight'. It seems the extension to the back building was used for this purpose.

Your opening statement lost me......

As the owner of this channel I hope you don't mind the following link. There's no money my way involved. Mind you, I'm not sure whether YT allows it but here's my complimentary take on Cadmans Cottage. They are kind of rare. As for the lack of apostrophe, I can tell you that it's part of the Geographical Names Board of NSW. Who'd have thought there's rules about grammar in Sydney? Surely not. th-cam.com/video/DJBashPy6s4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=c7OYvI0YH9DthEO9

I overlook this pretty little cottage from my office in the Salesforce building. And I’ve been through it as a local tourist to the Rocks many years ago. But prefer the Orient hotel still going since (1844). NSW in Oz 🇦🇺

What has same-sex marriage and to do with this.

"ex pats" ? - you mean pommie migrants 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Coxswain? That's pronounced coxs'n by anyone dealing with boats. Your sarcastic narration is a poor attempt at wit. And I don't recognise any authority of the land other than the Commonwealth and the States.

I didn't know the origin of the name Florida. Fascinating. I found your two Sydney Ep's, very enjoyable and making my way through some of your previous uploads. Very enjoyable. If you are ever in Lake Macquarie (NSW) check out Rathmines Air Base. An amazing history and story to be told there as well. I live nearby at Balmoral. Great research skills and contemporary delivery. Sub'd. Thanks.

It has early plumbing hewn from the sandstone underneath the floor and maybe the old lead pipes are still there. If they were for drinking water, that might explain some of the strange behavior?

Very interesting 👍 and professionally done.

Great style, hope you make it big on TH-cam :)

That wasn't in the history books. Didn't hear any rumours from old diggers about that either. Thanks for adding a bit more to my history knowledge

Cringe land acknowledgment, try being less ashamed of your own skin.

Love the Yankee Candle comment 😂

good stuff! lol at the end of the

i liked and subbed just because the song at the begging was so sick. the rest of the video was cool too i guess lol

lols

Yay

Great video. I walked along there from Seaford to Newhaven a few weeks back. Why haven't property developers moved into this area ?

Excellent video, would love to see more in this style

Really interesting and some great humour slipped in ;)

enjoyable stuff. Whats the track playing at about 11:40 in? Thanks

Interesting stuff. If you find that one interesting, have a look at the history of Hallsands in Devon.

No toilets? You coward

Inquiring American wants to know what sort of stone was used in the town's construction absolutely everywhere? It appears to be similar to chunky flint, but this stone seems more colorful, though that could just be interesting moss ... do tell!

Very interesting 🙂🙂🌵🌵

War criminals need a lot of protection

The driest of the dry. Very enjoyable and entertaining.

Good stuff

I don't know why TH-cam recommended your video to me, but I'm very happy they did. I've had a look through your catalog and I think I might have to bingewatch everything. Your sarcastic jokes had me giggling multiple times in this video alone. Cheers from the low lands across the North Sea!

Still laughing at the william cat commentary
