Some pictures from Newcastle NSW dating from the late 1890's

[Antipodean Celt]

HI all,

I was just feeding my genealogical addiction when I came across these beautiful photos taken in 1896 through 1898 in Newcastle NSW. I thought they were worth sharing.

It is the facial hair that I found most striking. Some of those moustaches are very fine indeed and, in my view, suit the kilt wearers admirably. Not so sure about the preponderance of bowler hats...

The whole set can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/uon/set...2691810/page7/

The Highland Games committee can be found about half way down the page.

I have set out some links to individual photos below.

Enjoy!
