PART THREE - Significance of Setting
This part is a digression in that I discuss the significance of setting in terms of time and place.

In Australia, the first power lawnmowers were made in the 1920s - about three decades
after the first overseas steam-powered lawnmowers, and about two decades after petrol
lawnmowers were introduced in the UK and USA.

That, arguably, the first Australian-made and Australian-designed power lawnmower should
be used at such an important setting is significant: -

Vaucluse House is an historic estate in the Gothic Revival style located in the harbourside
suburb of Vaucluse in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The suburb takes its name from
this house. Vaucluse House is a 19th-century estate with house, kitchen wing, stables and
outbuildings, surrounded by 11 hectares (28 acres) of formal gardens and grounds. The
house is managed by the Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales as a museum that is
open to the public. It is one of the few 19th-century houses near Sydney Harbour retaining
a significant part of its original setting. Wikipedia, 2018
