Zetland

In the inner city suburb of Zetland, the high rise blocks of flats (top) built on redeveloped industrial land at one end are quite a contrast to the low rise terrace houses (bottom) built in an older residential area at the other end. The suburb was named for Thomas Dundas, the 2nd Earl of Zetland, who was a friend of Governor Sir Hercules Robinson, who served as the Governor of New South Wales in the 1870s.
