 Virtual Sydney

Chris WIlling, Kim Lester and Bernard Pailthorpe

These images were taken from an animation showing a 3D reconstruction of the Rocks in Sydney.


The streets and building were recreated from the information found in the existing cadastre at the time. Historical accounts and  archaeological founds provided textures and colours.


This animation was featured on Quantum on the ABC in 1995.

The Premier of New South Wales, Bob Carr, approved the "Virtual Sydney" project as an olympic project.
Prof. R. Fletcher and Dr I. Johnson managed the final project which on display at the Museum of Sydney.
