| So, this is the fabulous mansion YOU might choose to build should you become fabulously wealthy by digging up a humungous chunk of reef gold out Hill End way. |
 |
| This is the front of St Peter's Presbyterian Church and manse immediately below Holtermann's mansion, which is now an unrecognisable part of Shore Grammar School, with its photography tower all bricked up. Bayliss and Holtermann, of course, only got the rear of any building facing the harbour, which they nearly all face in that part of the North Shore. |
| The Holtermann Panorama is not an easy experience for a novice like me to present to you. This first link has a still representation of the panorama on page 4. I have not been able to locate a digital version of each of the 14 individual images which comprise the panorama. However, The National Gallery of Australia, in Canberra, has available online, an interactive view of Holtermann's Panorama. My photograph of St Peter's Presbyterian Church and manse can be seen in images 2 and 3, in the immediate foreground. |

Oh, it's so nice to have you back in the blogosphere, Julie. I missed your photos, your writing style, so many things about you that are you and you alone.
Luv, K
That's very sweet of you to say, Kay.
I haven't hit my chunk of gold yet Julie but I am more than happy with my digs. Too many rooms in too look after in that mansion.
*grin* I have that as an issue, too, Joe. But also the horrid footprint ...
That was a grand building shame it wasn't all preserved. he was a fortunate fellow finding gold and a clever fellow making those panoramas. Thanks for the history lesson.
