Australia, Sydney Review

HYDE PARK 

(pronounced as Hide)

Australians don't mind sharing, for there's plenty of space for them to share.

Sydney's park (aka Hyde Park) is big, beautiful and very well-maintained.

The colours of the flowers are so vivid, it makes the whole environment so alive.
                                                                                                                                                                        
That's why, Aussies love spending their time at the park.


I saw them laying on the grass in bikini, office attires and casual wears.

Some were reading books, some were sunbathing while some were simply enjoying the nature.

They were so laid back!


A trip to the park will definitely transform your mood.

Breathe in the positive 'Qi' around you.






ANZAC Memorial 

After you're done running around the park, sniffing the sweet scents of flowers and sunbathing, head to the next destination.

A nice place to get shelter from the sun and heat.

Anzac Memorial Building, which nestles in Hyde Park South, is dedicated to all Australians who'd served their country in the war.

Anzac Memorial building's exterior is equally as beautiful as its interior design.

It's such a unique and simple structure.

Here's one thing you can only see from the inside, the dome of the Hall of Memory, which is covered with 120,000 golden stars, made from plaster and painted in gold.

Each star was purchased at 2 shillings (20 cents)  to fund the construction of this building during the Great Depression.


Rule:
You have to remain silent while you're in the building as a sign of respect.

Opening Hours:
Everyday from 9am to 5pm.

(Close on Good Friday and X'mas.)


Admission is FREE.
