Syms Covington Blue Plaque

Visitors can discover the stories behind the people, places and events that have helped shape NSW - where the history happened. A Blue Plaque visit offers more than sightseeing. It creates a direct connection between place and story, turning everyday locations into places of discovery. Each plaque reveals a unique piece of history, encouraging visitors to explore local areas from a new perspective and uncover stories they may never have known.

This blue plaque commemorates Syms Covington who became an integral part of one of the most important scientific voyages in history, working with one of the most famous figures of the 19th century – the naturalist Charles Darwin.
