Little Collins Street in Sydney’s Surry Hills is thought to be named after David Collins (1756-1810) who was the Lt Gov of Van Diemens Land (now Tasmania).
I know little of him, so I will on comment the here the street cuts across Little Riley Street and is a great place in the dark.

Real Estate agents refer to this part of Sydney’s Surry Hills as the “Paris end”.
Be careful though, as there is a triangle of Hutchison’s: Street, Lane, and this one, Place.
William Hutchinson (1772-1846), convict. Acquired much city land. Business partner of Samuel Terry.

Fitzroy Street in Sydney’s Surry Hills was once more than sketchy, it was dangerous place to walk.
Most of last century, people would avoid the place after dark.
Now you have to have access to a seven figure sum to buy here.
As much as I love these workers cottages, it’s crazy.

If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.
[1 Corinthians 13:1-3 NIV]
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!

This dead end part of Olivia Lane in Sydney’s Surry Hills has been a muse of mine for quite some years. Simple lines and a charming little staircase to drag your eye towards the park hidden beyond.

First light, wisps of pale pink clouds paint the sky, while old and new architecture lay silent in a Surry Hills backstreet. A quiet Sydney tale.
