Hyde Park Barracks Museum

Some pictures from one of my exploring days before I started work…









The Hyde Park Barracks – built between 1817 and 1819 – is a popular landmark in the historic precinct of Macquarie Street and Queens Square in Sydney.

The barracks were constructed by convict labor and served as the principal male convict barracks in New South Wales until 1848.

It has had many occupants since then, like single female immigrants seeking work as domestic servants and later as a female mental asylum.


The Sydney Tower is Sydney's tallest free-standing structure.
