    Circular Route To Circular Quay

    August 15, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    We walked the streets of Sydney today, grabbing caches along the way.

    First stop Queen Victoria Building, home to the Great Australian Clock. At the time of installation, it was the world's largest hanging animated turret clock, weighing in at 4 tonnes (if you know of any bigger hanging animated turret clocks out there, let me know!)

    We continued via Hyde Park to Macquarie Place Park, and an artwork titled "The Distance of Your Heart". The art work takes the form of sixty seven bronze birds perched on balustrades, monuments, bus stops, and buildings on Bridge Street and in the park. They are gentle reminders to slow down and look around at the city.

    We continued to Circular Quay, complete with cruise boat in dock - an iconic view.

    Daily cache count = 27
