Car Rental Liverpool - Cheap Discount Car Hire - Special Deals and Offers.
As the
fourth white settlement officially established in Australia,
Liverpool’s heritage traces back to the earliest days of nationhood.
Much of the colourful history of Liverpool’s development from
shantytown to a vibrant city an hour’s drive west from the centre of
Sydney is told in a permanent exhibition in the Regional Museum on
the Hume Highway.
But
the essence of Liverpool is centred in an old building next door to
the museum. Collingwood was built by Nantucket whaler and adventurer
Eber Bunker on the site of land granted him in 1804. Bunker was
among the first bounty hunters to take sperm whales just off Port
Jackson in 1791 and, for his sins, is recognised as the ‘father of
Australian whaling.’ Liverpool boasts two of Sydney's oldest
surviving bridges - the Lansdowne Bridge, which completes the Hume
Highway crossing of Prospect Creek and a stone bridge at Lapstone.
Both
were built under the supervision of Scottish stonemason David
Lennox, who learnt his trade at the foot of the famous English
engineer, Thomas Telford.
