Sydney photographer Walter Barnett brought out Marius Sestier, a French cameraman from the Lumière Studios, and on 22 September 1896 Sestier shot the first Australian film on Sydney Harbour: PS Brighton, on Manly.
Barnett and Sestier would later travel to Melbourne together to film the 1896 Melbourne Cup, but it all started here.
PS Brighton combines St Agnes VSOP Brandy, Moreau Apple Pie Liqueur, IMD Auvert Liqueur, lemon juice, anise syrup and bitters, clarified and garnished with a fruit leather leaf.
A toast to a piece of Sydney history.
