A trip into town Ch. 2

We are now going down George Street and here we see an old bank building that has been converted into a pub. Don't know what it's like, never been in the place but the three wise monkies look cute.

We have now arrived at Town Hall on the left and back a bit and looking at the entrance of the Queen Victoria Building. This is a magnificent building and was twenty years ago doomed for demolision. A property developer called Ipoh from Malaysia saved the day by refurbishing it. It is now a rather upmarket shopping centre.

Helen's office overlooks the QVB and here is a shot of the main dome over the atrium, as you can see it is all very ornate. How anyone in their right mind could have ever thought of destroying this building?

This is another shot taken from Helen's office looking at Sydney Tower in Australia Square. Last week there was a question asked by a listener to a local radio station. "Why is Circular Quay rectangular and Australia Square circular?" A very good question indeed!

Will post a few more pics of our return trip back into civilisation as we know it in the western suburbs.

Thanks to the Blog Fairy who fixes up my blogs when I make a blue. A blue is an error or mistake in Oz. Toorooloo.
