Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: About 1 km to the east of the township of Windsor, NSW and only 50 ft above mean tide level, stands the remains of one of the first observatories in Australia. Here John Tebbutt established his private observatory and for over 60 years continued a remarkable career as a gentleman astronomer in the best tradition of 19th century Europe.
