A ‘mildly amazing place’
Lewisham Railway Station
Lewisham is a junction for EVERY form of infrastructure
— road and rail, canal and tram, gas and electricity, sewer
and incineration. And it was also a suburb of scientists,
astronomers and university men. One state premier and
twelve Members of Parliament also chose to reside in this
once-desirable ‘healthy and aristocratic’ suburb. Mark
Matheson, former editor with the Royal Australian Historical
Society, leads this walking tour and reveals information from
the council minutes and contemporary newspapers.
