St Mary's Cathedral
One Central Park -Vertical apartment towers covered in greenery. Note the "gardener" at work!
The Royal Botanic Garden - 30 hectares (74 acres) - no charge to visit.
In the garden, there was a special floral display called "Pollination".
Then on to the Queen Victoria Building, designed by George McCrae and completed in 1898, replacing the original Sydney markets. Built as a monument to the monarch, the building housed various tenants over many years and at one point was threatened with demolition. Rescued by the National Trust, every detail has been painstakingly restored. Five levels of high end shopping, restaurants and cafes sit beneath the original stained glass windows and dome.

I can only say what beauty you are are seeing. Your pictures are fantastic. You may run into some of Sharon's relatives there. She is from the Mac Quarrie Clan. I believe Mac Quarrie is considered the father of New South Wales.
