Here are some other sites around Sydney we happened upon while we wandered. -J 🇦🇺

First and foremost, the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. (Don’t worry, there are more photos of the Opera House below!)

We ran across this ornate iron canopy that only said “Keep The Pavement Dry.” Apparently this is an old drinking fountain with an admonition against “sloppy drinking.” It was 1 of 8 installed in Sydney during the mid-1800s.

In this same park was an obelisk placed at the site from which all public roads into the interior of Australia were measured from.

An interesting fountain, unusual buildings, and a night scene.

The Museum of Sydney, built over the foundation of the First Government House and the location of the home of New South Wales’s first governor, Arthur Phillip. To map Sydney in 1831, 8 boundary stones were laid marking the edges of the city, the 7th of which is now housed in this Museum.

Sydney’s oldest Pub (Fortune of War) (1828).

And Sydney’s oldest pub brewery and oldest continuously operated hotel (Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel) (1841).

And, as promised, more from the Opera House. We found it interesting that each of the sail-shaped shells seems to be separated from the others and it is not just one continuous hall.
