    "Somehow, the passage to the upper and lower towers is not very smooth. Don't look for it, you may miss it. But it is a pity that you can't go to Sydney to the Sydney Tower. Finding the place you have been to from a high altitude is very interesting!"

Before the establishment of the observatory, Sydney did not have a unified standard for time, so the huge yellow time ball rose to the height of the tower when it was almost 13:00 every day, and then fell from the height at the hour , It is said that this time ball was used to correct the time of ships sailing in Sydney Harbour. In the early hours, the sound of cannons will also be accompanied by the sound of reminding people that it is exactly one o'clock in the afternoon. 3.

    "Mrs McAuliffe's seat (Mrs Macquarie's Chair) is carved on a large exposed sandstone on a peninsula at the northeast end of the Sydney Royal Botanic Garden (Royal Botanic Gardens) in downtown Sydney, the capital of NSW. The peninsula itself is named Mrs McAuliffe's Cape (Mrs Macquarie's Point). The Madame McAuley seat is not actually a chair, but an open-air rock carved into the shape of a chair, with three steps, in memory of Madame McAuley carved by a craftsman in 1810."

    Highlights: The Lady Macaulay Stone Chair, located in the Sydney Botanic Gardens, is a stone chair carved by artisans in honor of Lady Macaulay. Mrs. Macaulay's Seat is located on the north side of the Botanic Gardens and is only separated by a narrow bay from the Sydney Opera House. It is a must-see for tourists. Mrs Macaulay's seat is named after Mrs Macaulay, a 17th century Governor's wife. Governor Macaulay had to return to the UK to report on Australia's situation every five years. Due to the long distance and the underdeveloped maritime traffic at that time, it took 28 months for a round trip. Accompanied by his wife, Governor Macaulay has achieved brilliant achievements. Mr. Macaulay is busy with official business every day, and Mrs. Macaulay comes here every day to paint the scenery of Sydney Harbour. Every time Governor Macaulay returns to the UK to report for duty, the lonely Mrs Macaulay is looking forward to it here, waiting for the return of the fleet, bringing kindness to the surrounding people in the day-to-day waiting.

    "We went at the end of April, not as fascinated as we had a few years ago. To build a new luxury building - a super-large hotel, Imax cinema and the building all over the block were demolished. In development, hey. The area now seems more noisy - probably more vehicles shuttle overhead. No fireworks, but still lots of restaurants."

    Highlights: Cork Bay Wharf is very close to the well-known Darling Harbour, which is also Sydney's commercial wharf, with the bustling Financial City behind it. At night, the entire pier is brightly lit, which is a major part of the Sydney night scene. It is very dazzling and worth visiting.
