From the small shrubs and tree plantings, this photo must be near the time the hospital was built.

"The layout of the grounds was commenced by Dr Chisolm Ross in 1895, but the great variety of trees and shrub found in them is due to the personal efforts of the forth medical supt Dr Moffitt. He obtained specimens all over the world at his own expense. The willows on the banks of the Wollindilly River pre-date the hospital period and have been struck from a cutting of the willow which shaded napoleons grave on St Helena."

Sad place. My mother was a nurses aid here during the 60s.

Hi. I am interested in speaking to any one who used to work there. Can you please contact me on rachel [at] bigbubblemedia [dot] com and then I can tell you more about my project?

Thank you

Rachel

Science vs. Creationism in 1925. The Bible thumpers will never accept scientific fact because they refuse to accept the fact the Bible is full of errors and discrepancies, that it was written for uneducated people, and that it was written by many writers in different times, translated and retranslated, books added and books discarded, etc, etc, etc. Sorry, even the Vatican accepted evolution by 1919.
