Bridge and Loftus Streets
Photos of Buildings in Sydney - Corner of Bridge Street and Loftus Streets. Note the traditional copper roof with its green patina.
The Tank Stream was the main source of water for the early settlement, so named when convicts were made to dig holding tanks in the stream. It still flows today, but under the streets.
This photo shows the old Colonial Government Building and on the right is the Museum of Sydney, situated where the first Government House stood.
Macquarie Place Park
Located just across the street is the Macquarie Place Park, where a number of historical artefacts can be seen, including a cannon from the HMS Sirius, the flagship of the First Fleet
Historical Bridge Street and the HMS Sirius Anchor
