Hyde Park Barracks

Coffee break at Hyde Park Barracks, Macquarie St, Sydney. The Barracks, designed by colonial architect Francis Greenway, is a world heritage listed building.

  1. Great photo. The barracks must have been a nightmare for those convicts living there. But the architecture in your photo looks a bit softer than the convicts probably experienced it.

    Thanks for the link

  3. Hi Sally,
    Hide Park, nice place where to stop for a break in Sydney.

    I live in Brisbane instead and I am a passionate of Italy.

  4. I love early buildings with beautiful hand made bricks. Life was tough all round when this building was built.
