Stacey Trock Little spot in the heart of Sydney packed with points of interest. One that many people dont know about is the Distance of Your Heart art installation. Its 60 bronze birds perched along Bridge Street. Its quite an adventure to find them! 12 are in the park, as well as the bench with the name of the installation.
Youll also find Macquaries obelisk, the original measuring point for Sydney (notice the measurements are in miles!).
And a cannon and anchor from the Sirius, flagship of the First Fleet.
Theres an original well "keep the pavement dry!" and if you look at the NE corner, youll see an iron dome. These used to be public toilets, but were long ago filled in.
As a park, its a bit grotty, but if youre looking to sit, just walk a block to Circular Quay for amazing views. And theres a gorgeous little laneway on the northern side for drinks.
