It began May 25 1881 and ended February 19 1882, spreading from Lower George Street to Surry Hills Cumberland Street Waterloo and Circular Quay. The Royal Commission found mismanagement at quarantine and hospital sites, noting unsafe transfers and exposed coffins, but it spurred vaccination adoption though uptake remains low decades later.
