Sydney: Day 4

Today we planned to explore more of historical side of Sydney. We went to Anzac War Memorial, Museum of Sydney, Sydney Conservatorium of Music, State Library of New South Wales, St. Mary Cathedral, Hyde Park, Australian National Maritime Museum and Art Gallery of New South Wales.







In Anzac War Memorial, our eyes were brought to a statue situated in the middle of the building. The statue showed us a dead soldier holding the quality of the armour by caryatids which represent his mother, sister and wife. The statue had been created by Rayner Hoff.



Museum of Sydney is one of the symbolic buildings of Sydney. The true fact is that the building is built on a ruin building of the first Governor of New South Wales. The building age is about 200 years.





The only thing that gets into our mind when we tried to memorize Sydney Conservatorium of Music is the piano. The piano that we saw was unique where it is arranged in stages assembling a stair.



State Library of New South Wales is the largest library in New South Wales. We saw that there were so many books and so many people were studying in the library.

St. Mary Cathedral is one of the glamorous buildings apart from Museum of Sydney. It is the largest church in Australia.





After we have finished navigating around the church, we stopped by Hyde Park. The clean environment of the park made us all laid down on the grass to take a break for a while.







We continued our exploration to National Maritime Museum. There were so many type of ship. We were surprise to see one of Malaysian ships disembarked at Sydney Harbour.

Last but not least is the Art Gallery of New South Wales. From our own perspective, Australia is the home of many great artwork and all the masterpieces can be viewed at Art Gallery of New South Wales.





We learnt about the history of Australians in World War 1 and we learnt to appreciate the army for sacrificing themselves to serve the country.

We observed that all the tourist attractions in Sydney were clean and the society have a solid awareness on the cleanliness.

We observed that the historical places in Sydney did not charge any entrance fee compared to Malaysia where mostly we have to pay to visit historical places like the National Museum and the National Planetarium.

Most of the historical attractions in Sydney were strategically located whereby it can be reached within walking distance.
