Millers Point

            Millers Point is one of the earliest areas to be settled in Sydney.  There was a large windmill on what is now Observatory Hill, overlooking the harbour and nice and high in order to catch the breezes.  Flour was needed for the locals and this was where it was ground.  The windmill is long gone but there are lots of Colonial and Victorian buildings.  There is quite a bit of development in this area.  The sketch below shows the new casino.  We were sitting in the shade in front of a gate to more development and got moved along.  The new spot didn't have quite the same view/perspective which made it a bit tricky to finish.  However...
