Perhaps The Finest Street In Sydney

Someone once said that Bridge Street in Sydney was the finest of its streets, in a place that has a lot of competitors for that title.

I will not debate that question, but simply say that it is one of my favourites.

It has a wonderful set of Victorian Public Buildings and leads, at the eastern end, to the Botanic Gardens and the Conservatorium of Music.

It is said to have the largest number of statues of any street in Australia!! It does have a lot, especially on the facade of the very gracious Lands Department Building. Ambling around that building alone would happily occupy a bit of time.

This episode gives an introduction to the western end of the street and provides historical details, including one of the Lands Department statues.

It is made to accompany you on your walk!

 

Happy, and hopefully informative, walking
