Computers: Historical images of Sydney

During our computer time, create a collage (using a program of your choice) of historical images of Sydney sites. Think about their importance with the colonisation of Australia.
For example: Sydney Cove, The Rocks, Cockatoo Island, The Quarantine Station and historical sites from the early 1900’s. 

In 1839 Cockatoo Island became a secure prison for convicts 
The Guard House

Each picture should be labeled (annotated) with a description that includes date and location. 

When using a search engine like Google it is important to provide more specific detail about what you are looking for. You will get more appropriate images if you type 'the rocks convicts' than just typing 'the rocks'.  You could also try adding a date to your search (1788 or 1800s)

If you are unsure what program to use, Power Point may be a good option for you.
