Old main Post office

Now converted to a luxury hotel, and restaurants and shops (and retaining a small post office), this is part of the restored interior of the former GPO (General Post Office) in Martin Place, Sydney.

    Another building I've passed many times on my holidays in Sydney. ha, ha, I can even remember it when it was a post office.

    Funny, I walked past this place yesterday and thought the staircase looked grand! We should organise to meet one day - or let it happen by accident ??? LOL

    I can remember the GPO was a drab and dirty building when I was a kid. Good to see it can finally show its true beauty

    nathalie- serendipity is a lovely thought, but perhaps something more organised might work better!
    keropak - the lovely thing is that this area is still pulic, and you can wander up the staircase - so often when these sort of ex public buildings are taken over by private interests, the best bits become "off limits".

    Also check out the really good quality toilets in the lobby.
