A history of health in the early Sydney colony, starting over two centuries ago. Dr Fiona Starr (Sydney Living Museums) gives accounts of the Rum Hospital built by Governor Lachlan Macquarie to maintain the health of the convict workforce. Professor Peter Curson (Macquarie University) describes the worst infectious diseases that struck the colony, from the measles outbreak that killed over a thousand children to the plague epidemic that caused panic and social conflict. And Dr Lisa Murray (City of Sydney Council) talks about the perennial problem of where to bury the dead in an era of incredibly high mortality. The lectures were recorded at the “Our Healthy Heritage” seminar series, hosted quarterly by the Australian and New Zealand Society of the History of Medicine.
