Up to 700 convicts worked on the Great North Road at any one time. Some of the blocks of stone that they moved weighed up to 660kg. Daily food rations for each convict were 450gms fresh or salt meat, 650gms of flour or corn meal, 30gms of sugar and 15gms salt.

Wisemans Ferry Inn was the home of Solomon Wiseman the first ferry operator and person after whom the village of Wisemans Ferry was named. It was known as Cobham Hall.

The Hills region figured early in Sydney's history with the Battle of Vinegar Hill, named after the battle fought in the Irish Rebellion of 1798. Most of the convicts who were involved in the Irish battle had been transported to Australia.

What a Thrill

2010-07-06T20:59:00.000-07:00

My IGO Card arrived in the post last week, just in time for a visit from my country friends.

What great timing! We headed for the website to see what water activities IGO had to offer. With two kids and two adventurous adults we had no problem in deciding on Oz Jet Boating! What a thrill ! It was so much fun and we couldn't wipe the smiles off our faces for hours. The staff were so pleasant and helpful and our OzJet Boat driver made sure we all had a really exciting and fun adventure. Flying across the harbour and squealing into tight spins was such a buzz.... and to quote one of the kids "this is the BEST time I have ever had!" ... and I think we all agreed.
