El Alamein Fountain Kings Cross

This fountain in the heart of the cross had just had its first refurbishment. Designed by Bob Woodward it was completed in 1961 as a memorial to the soldiers who died at El Alamein Egypt during WWII in 1942.

Best picnic spot in Sydney

On a weekday around lunchtime the best picnic spot is around Hyde Park, get some food from the David Jones food hall and spread a blanket.

Govenor Arthur Phillip Fountain

In the Royal Botanic Gardens, just off Macquarie street, is this ornate statue of the Captain of the first fleet and our first Governor. It is popular at lunchtime, nice grass and a sun trap. For a great site about this fountain go to this link. An interesting fact is that the captain's bones are missing. Has anyone noticed that (almost) all the statues of our mariners are facing towards the heads. Which one is not?

Archibald Morning
