Expand/collapse
PHOTOGRAPH DETAILS
DescriptionTwo golden apples are symbols of Ryde’s orchards and market gardens and the wealth derived from them, as well as being a direct reference to the famed Granny Smith apple. Maria Ann Smith, her husband Thomas and children arrived in NSW in 1838 on the Lady Nugent. On her farm in Eastwood a seedling grew from the remains of some French crab apples grown in Tasmania. This was the origin of the Granny Smith Apple.
