Macquarie StSydney 2000
Description:
Take a stroll down memory lane, which, in Sydney, is known as Macquarie Street. Much of Sydney's finest Georgian and Victorian architecture can be found on this street, along with many of her restored public buildings. Some of the buildings you'll see include Sydney Hospital (dating from 1894), the State Library of NSW (which houses Captain Cook's original journals), Parliament House, and the Royal Mint. The street's name comes from Lachlan Macquarie, the governor responsible for much of Sydney's early development. TRAIN: to St. James or Circular Quay.
