Gardener's Lodge, Victoria Park


In 1865 an area at the corner of City Road and Paramatta Road was added to the University of Sydney to provide a formal entrance. The entrance avenue through the park was planted with fig trees and entrance gates installed, flanked by the Gardener's Lodge, and the mirror-image Messenger's Lodge (demolished in 1940).

  2. A lovely capture under that brooding sky. I love that the earth and the pillars seem to be the same color (or is that pavement?)
