After all the excitement with James Hewitt, I headed to Newtown and had a mooch around the backstreets getting a feel for the place. It's close to the University of Sydney so it's a student area. There are some beautiful family houses alongside houses in total disrepair. The top picture is a great example of a street undergoing the process of gentrification; the houses are attached to one another but one of them is a wreck. It's worth clicking on this one just to see the extent of the repairs required (and the money you could make if you did).
The steps in the middle picture are typical of this style of house but the majority have been painted or concreted over.
The bottom picture shows a federation-style cottage. Note the grand design underneath the corrugated tin roof, unlikely bedpartners elsewhere in the world.
