Lachlan Macquarie statue Hyde Park


Looking down his eponymous street, this is a new statue erected this year. Sad to say, I don't like it.

  1. Heehee, maybe some of the disapproval came through in your wonky angle:) I like how the plaque starts "He was a perfect gentleman."

  2. Great shot of our city's newest statue. I've taken a few shots of this but none are as great as yours here.

  3. I think it’s a dreadfully stiff and lifeless sculpture. Probably just as well that the sculptor’s name is not given. ;-)
