Old Images of Rylstone District

This site was established by Wal Pilz (1927-2016) to share historical information depicted in photos and images of old scenes of the Rylstone District. Wal's belief was that sharing history was the best way to create a living history for Rylstone and the surrounding district. In Wal's memory, the site will continue to operate as an online database and you are invited to contribute images and information. Please comment or email Dan Hatton at oldimagesrylstonedistrict@gmail.com.

The 40's saw the arrival of John Davis whose sons Charles and John Jnr eventually settled at "Ginghi" and "Tryalion". The Davis' were great horsemen and capable cattle breeders. Bullocks from "Ginghi" were the first to exceed 10 pounds at the Sydney market.
