Only a stones throw from the Sydney CBD, I was at Sydney Uni for the Ecological Society of Australia conference, where I presented a poster on my work at Griffith...
The clock tower on the Quadrangle Building at the University
Looking to the left of the previous photo; amazing achitecture!
The road into Sydney Uni approaching the Quadrangle Building! I walked every day from Glebe to the uni, and this was a joyous view!
All gardens were tended, with sprawling vines and large fig trees...
More lush gardens!
Another view...
This time, the view is from within the quadrangle. The amazing architecture of the building is evident from afar, as well as from close up... imagine the stonemasons work on pitting all these blocks...
Looking out the quadragle from the meticulously manicured lawns.
The lovely Jacaranda tree in the corner of the quad. This would be an amazing sight in full bloom!
Archways along the quad edge... similar to places at UWA!
Another perspective...
Another.....
The architecture is amazing, when you consider the majority of buildings nowadays are pre-fab cement sheets...
This exemplifies the complexity and detail of the design. There is no purpose to this detail apart from a want to make it uniquely beautiful. Form over function... something we need to appreciate more of in life...
The southern entrance into the quad

Looking toward the quad
Faculty of Medicine building again... love the detail
