Two hundred years of History in the Hills

In 1801, a young botanist named George and Sarah Suttor arrived at a parcel of land in Baulkham Hills with a shipment of plants from Sir Joseph Banks. What he built there — an orchard, a home, a life — became one of the oldest surviving properties in the Sydney basin. This is the story of Chelsea Farm.
