lecture 9

macquarie place continued

macquarie place was on the waterfront (hard to believe so much land has been reclaimed)

one of the earliest built public spaces in sydney and australia

the obelisk is an important feature of the site...it was literally the centre of sydney

the only part of the first fleet you can touch is there, all other remnants are protected in various sites

macquarie place is like an open air museum of colonisation and british invasion of australia
