The Way to See New South Wales
Historic Sites
ANZAC
Memorial
(5 minutes from central Sydney)
Located in the picturesque Hyde Park, the ANZAC Memorial
is a tribute to the Australian servicemen who fought in conflicts
from the year 1885 to the present day. The building sits at
the southern part of Hyde Park, while to the north is the
pool of remembrance, whose purpose is to reflect the image
memorial building. There are many things to see and do at
the Memorial, and one of them is to remember those who fought
for our Country.
State
Library of New South Wales
(Sydney CBD)
For those who have a penchant for information, there's no
better place than one of the biggest libraries in Australia
- the State Library of NSW. Located right in the heart of
Sydney City, it contains reference libraries amd a fully featured
Australia and Pacific items catalogue to name but a few. For
the most part, there's always a new exhibition or event on
at the Library, too.
Sydney
Opera House
(10 minutes from central Sydney)
While it may not be completely historical in every sense,
the Opera House finished construction in 1973, based on blueprints
by Danish architect Joern Utzon. But more than just an 'opera'
house, the massive structure contains a concert hall, opera
theatre, drama theatre, playhouse, a studio, bars, restaurants
and shops. Indeed, there's more than meets the eye when it
comes to the majestic Sydney Opera House.
Mcwilliams
Mount Pleasant
(2 hours north of Sydney)
This historic winery was cemented in place in 1921, with
one Maurice O'Shea - the fellow often charged as pioneering
the Australian wine industry - putting in the groudwork for
the now historic site. Sitting high on the slopes of the Brockenback
range in the Hunter Valley and offering views of high repute,
the winery is quite simple breath-taking. New to the age-old
lands is a modern $1.5 million Food Centre, which is now one
of the most popular destinations for tourists in the region.
