University of Sydney

Organisation 2 stories, 1868 to 2002

An Australian university whose library holds a piece of one of the country's oldest flying machine stories. In 2024, researchers Bill Chalker and Chris Aubeck examined the Rumsey papers at its Fisher Library. Among them were six pages in Frederick William Birmingham's own hand, tied to his 1868 account of a machine to go through the air at Parramatta. The university appears again in the case of Our Lady of Coogee in 2002. There, Cusack, of the University of Sydney, described the pilgrims at the Dolphins Point fence as joining an age-old religious practice.
