Jacaranda in Sydney Uni Quad

In the main quad is a great Jacaranda, shame the sky isn't bluer.

University of Sydney Main Quad

The north western corner, designed by Leslie Wilkinson, finished in the 1920s.

Sydney University Main Quadrangle

A beautiful day yesterday afternoon on the lawn in the main quadrangle.

The buildings surrounding the main quad was completed over many stages.
Edmund Blacket, Colonial Architect, started it in 1854, comprised the Great Hall and East range, which were built between 1854 and 1862.

Finally the uni architect,Professor Leslie Wilkinson, designed the North and North-west wings in harmony with the existing stonework in the Tudor Gothic style. The work carried out on the South-west range between 1921 and 1926.

One of my favourite places in Sydney.

The Rainy Main Quad

Cold and wet Sydney University,the architecture matches the mood of the city.

Grotesque at University

This is a small grotesque in the main quad at Sydney Uni.

Jacaranda Time

Summer is almost here when the Jacaranda's bloom, they should be Sydney's tree - it is a shame they come from Brazil.

Q. Where is Sydney's best Jacaranda.
A. Stay tuned for my vote, and it is not the one in today's blog.

This one is in the main quad at Sydney Uni.

Rainy Day Sydney University

Plenty of rain for the farmers, also some in downtown Sydney.

Graduation time

Graduation time at Sydney University, this is of the main quad - poor graduates - it was bucketing down.

Main Quadrangle Sydney University

This is looking inside the main quad of Sydney Uni, the architect Edmund Blacket designed the Quadrangle and Great Tower buildings, which were completed in 1862. It is a beautiful place to stroll around as I was the other day waiting for my daughter who is studying there.
