The Villas of Glebe & Forest Lodge pre-1870 Exhibition

The Glebe Society (Sydney) is marking its 50th Anniversary and was originally formed to save Glebe from the bull dozers which were to cut a freeway through the middle of the suburb. The Glebe Society is having a week long exhibition on the Villas of Glebe / Forest Lodge pre 1870 plus other activities.

There is an extensive exhibition of many images of Glebe never before seen by the public.

An audio visual exhibition from 1870’s glass negatives.

The old Glebe Tramsheds have been converted into a large restaurant / café precinct within so visitors can take advantage of the food available.

The Tramsheds is located next to the Jubilee Oval light-rail stop.

Explore the streets of Glebe and the foreshore of Johnstone and Blackwattle Bay.

The event is free. Parking is plentiful.
