Our astronomical event, planned during Heritage Week, 4th-19th April as part of the National Trust Heritage Festival Our Place in Space - Under the Southern Skies, has shaped up nicely.
Our exhibit features James Dunlop, former Superintendent of Parramatta Observatory and Astronomer Royal of the Colony of New South Wales during the 1830s. In 1843 he retired to Kincumber where he died in 1848 and is buried in St. Paul's Church of England graveyard at Kincumber.
