Glen,
Excellent piece of history about an often forgotten astronomer.
To me Dunlop never received the accolades he deserved
A pioneer of astronomy in our Country
One question though , I’m assuming this location D is another observing spot ( Elders house ) as his timber Observatory in Parramatta Park was a fare distance from this location near the Woolpack hotel.
Did Dunlop have various observing locations ? I assumed he only used the Observatory in the Park ?
I’ve had a beer at the Woolpack with my son , he lived in Dunlop st Parramatta for 5 years
Thanks for posting
Cheers
Martin
