A CRUCIAL link to our history has literally been flushed down the toilet.
The spot, thought to be where Governor Arthur Phillip first set foot in 1788, founding Sydney, is now home to a demountable toilet block. Gary Sturgess, a former adviser to the Greiner government, said Sydney Ports has dumped the toilets on what should be a place of historical significance, opposite the Overseas Passenger Terminal in The Rocks.
A spokesman for Sydney Ports, which installed the toilets three years ago, said the corporation was “unaware of any official marker at the site of the demountable.”
“It was placed there in response to a series of complaints that there were insufficient public toilet facilities at The Rocks,” the spokesman said.
