2nd Day - Art Gallery of NSW



The Art Gallery of New South Wales is the leading museum of art in New South Wales and Sydney, and one of Australia's foremost cultural institutions. It holds significant collections of Austalian, European and Asian art, and presents nearly forty exhibitions annually.

This statue was created in 1919. Could this be a revival fashion?

Royal Botanic Garden

Took a 10 mintues stroll from the Art Gallery to the Royal Botanic Garden.
The Garden is an oasis of 30 hectares in the heart of the city. Wrapped around Farm Cove at the edge of Sydney Harbour, the Royal Botanic Gardens occupy one of Sydney's most spectacular positions.

Pierre Cardin called this "The most beautiful shopping complex in the world"

Train

Sydney has many ways to commute. Bus, train, fairies, light rail, monorail, taxis, and so on.
We took a train to go back home. Gosh, walked all day !!
