  6. “First Impressions” Artwork, The Rocks, Sydney, NSW, Australia

    The sandstone relief sculpture symbolises the origins and settlement of the colony of New South Wales, by depicting elements of Sydney history in the middle of the rocks area. The Rocks is a very popular spot where locals and tourists mingle at the open-air Markets, perusing handmade fashions and street food.

    This fairly large sculpture is located at the intersection of Playfair and George Street. It has three sides, with a figure or figures carved into each side. Very popular spot for pictures. Each side represents a particular group of people that established themselves in Sydney early on: The Convicts, The Settlers, and The Soldier.

    "First Impressions" was commissioned by the Sydney Cove Redevelopment Authority in 1979.

  20. Santos traumatized by prison! Isn't that the point? Trump could have moved him to a country club prison as he did Ghislaine Maxwell, but let him out instead- a favor to a fellow convict.
    We know he'd like to release her as well if he wasn't sure of blowback that would put Jeffrey Epstein right back in the spotlight.

  21. In the eighty years between 1788 and 1868, some 162,000 #convicts were embarked on #transport #ships and #banished to the #colonies to serve their sentences. The 337-ton #barque #Neva sailed from the #Irish port of #Cork on 8th January 1835 bound for #Sydney with 153 #female #prisoners of the crown. Joining them were 55 #children. When the Neva struck a #reef in Bass Strait, some 150 #souls #perished.
