The Experiment Farm Cottage was the first farm in Australia owned by a former a convict. In 1789, Governor Arthur Philip provided convict James Ruse a 1.5 acre plot of land just outside Parramatta, with the promise of granting him emancipation and 30 acres if he successfully farmed it, which he did. The site had been cleared by the traditional owners, the Burramatta Dharug people (after whom the City of Parramatta was named), who used firestick agriculturally techniques to clear the site.

Still standing: The Experiment Farm Cottage.
The entry to the Experiment Farm Cottage.
The dining room, featuring a mix of original and period furniture. The walls have been repainted in the room's original forest green colour.
The loungeroom was often used by the ladies, while the men conducted business in the dining room. The walls are painted arsenic green, and were originally painted with a paint that contained arsenic.

The Town Hall in Gniew, Poland

Located in the central part of the market square, was built at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries. It was originally a quadrangular structure with an internal courtyard, a tower and stalls on the ground floor. The building was seriously damaged during the Swedish wars in the 17th century. A major renovation of the town hall for 6,150 thalers was carried out in 1853 by master mason Erich Obuch from Gniew. A stylish arcade was built in front of the northern elevation and the town hall was decorated with a balcony.

In 1818, the eastern wing was demolished, and in its place in 1823, an Evangelical church was built. The southern wing and the tower were demolished in 1836, and in their place, residential houses were built, which originate from the times when stalls with goods for sale were placed around it. Today, its oldest parts include the basement and the ground floor.

In January 1920, the residents built a field altar in front of the town hall, on which on January 27, parish priest Ignacy Rosentreter celebrated a holy mass for soldiers from the Pomeranian Front of General Józef Haller, who annexed Gniew to Poland after 148 years of partition.
