    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] That all happened in my backyard; I am in Port Macquarie. Not much has changed with the pollies! You may be interested in trying to date some of the dozens of Captain Cook Statue photos. I think the vegetation gives a clue. See comments here -

    Hello! We'd love you to add this photo to the National Maritime Museum's group Travellers' Tails. www.flickr.com/groups/nmm_travellers/rules/ This group has been set up to collate photographic responses to the exhibition The Art and Science of Exploration: 1768-80 at the National Maritime Museum and touring to the Grant Museum of Zoology, the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, the Hunterian Museum and Horniman Museum and Gardens. The exhibition aims to explore Captain Cook’s voyages of discovery, as well as the exchange of ideas and experiences around travel and exploration and investigate key questions around the history of art, science and exploration and what this means today, drawing on George Stubbs’ Enlightenment era paintings of a kangaroo and dingo, recently acquired by the National Maritime Museum. We’d love to see your photographs - please help us build a gallery of images to enrich the group! Thanks! www.flickr.com/groups/nmm_travellers/rules/

    Built from 1826 to 1828, per the DIA

    Streetview of the now empty plinth. Another angle Bing bird's eye view
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The pillar was 90 feet in height surmounted by the statue of Rev. George Walker “of heroic size”(20 feet), with one hand outstretched towards the site of the river barrier/boom. Internally a spiral staircase of 105 steps (The Siege lasted 105 days – the longest in British History) allowed access to the viewing platform on top. The pillar and statue were destroyed by a bomb explosion in August 1973. Only the pedestal remains to this day. A 2010 story on the destruction of the pillar.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Ooh, dating info from that story: Originally, the left hand held a sword, but during a night of storm in the early part of this century the sword was blown down.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    And today, what's left of him.

  • Mark Dowsett said:
    PMC you are welcome, when I can find the time I like hunting out these locations with a print to match.

    And here is a night shot converted to B&W

    the street light (?) that was behind the statue has been relocated a bit to the left, and I'm guess the original was floodlight by a single source.
