Plaza IberoamericanaThis plaza commemorating the bicentennial of European settlement in Australia was inspired by the contribution of Spanish and Portuguese speaking people to the discovery and settlement of Australia.Portuguese and Spanish sailors contributed greatly to the exploration of the South Pacific and knowledge from their voyages assisted the eventual settlement of Australia in 1788. The Plaza was officially opened on the 4th Feb, 1989.[ 本帖最后由 jasonnewman 于 2007-10-8 13:25 编辑 ]澳洲旅游休闲 http://www.ozabc.com/forum-55-1.html

Royal Exhibition HotelRecently refurbished. The Reschs family established this pub in 1910 to cater for the hordes drawn by the Royal Exhibition held there in 1910. Allegedly built over the tank stream.[ 本帖最后由 jasonnewman 于 2007-10-8 13:26 编辑 ]澳洲旅游休闲 http://www.ozabc.com/forum-55-1.html

Cleveland House---an White Elephant?
Some say it is the oldest house still standing in Sydney, perhaps even older than Cadman’s Cottage in The Rocks. It was built by Captain Cleveland, an officer of the 73rd regiment. Some say it was designed by Francis Greenway but it is not proven. It is so sad Cleveland House (in private hands) is in such poor condition, unlike Cadman’s Cottage.[ 本帖最后由 jasonnewman 于 2007-10-8 13:28 编辑 ]澳洲旅游休闲 http://www.ozabc.com/forum-55-1.html

Quaker Meeting House
The Quakers meet here each Sunday morning.
The first Quaker to visit Australia was on the boat with Captain Cook in 1770. Now there are around 1000 members and many more attenders in Australia. Quakers regard all life as sacramental, and respect all persons equally, they think of religion as inseparable from everyday living.[ 本帖最后由 jasonnewman 于 2007-10-8 15:03 编辑 ]澳洲旅游休闲 http://www.ozabc.com/forum-55-1.html
