St Vincent’s is a world-class public hospital offering best-in-class services, facilities, and expertise, along with educational opportunities.

We have an international reputation for innovation and are regarded as a centre of excellence for clinical care, research, teaching and medical leadership.

However, conversely, we are also a very community-focused organisation, being an established and essential part of Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs neighbourhood. In fact, in 2007 we celebrated our Sesquicentenary (150 years).

St Vincent’s Hospital was founded on the principles of compassion, care and respect for all people – and these ethical tenets are still the driving force behind our philosophy and methodology.

Pispaj...
Let this be a new word in English language, pispaj is speciality from the ancient Croatian cuisine. It's everyone's favourite treat.
Just the bread dough shaped in rounds and fried, sprinkle with sugar or enjoy plain instead of bread.

Chris Woolcock's rare rocking horses at McGraths Hill

CHRIS Woolcock of McGraths Hill is the only known person in Australia whose full-time occupation is making and restoring rocking horses.

And each of his products is unique. No two horses are alike.

Working 12 hours a day, Mr Woolcock designs, cuts, and carves every day and produces 200 horses a year at Rocking Horse Lodge, 143 Pitt Town Road.

He cuts and carves the head of each horse and then screws four legs onto a base.

From there Mr Woolcock carves the detail into each horse's head and shapes the legs.

The horses are then given to his partner, Viktoria Darabi, to paint and install the miniature saddle, which is crafted by a saddler.

The couple have also restored rocking horses that are more than 100 years old.

Ms Darabi says there has been a renaissance in rocking horses ``because they reflect happier, innocent simple times''. The name of the business is appropriately Renaissance Rocking Horses.

Visitors are welcome to tour the house and inspect the collection of antique prams and porcelain dolls.

And you'll also be able to tour the organic vegetable garden and see the sheep, turkeys and chickens.

``A lot of people want to make rocking horses, but it's a daunting task to start from scratch,'' Mr Woolcock said.
