Hyde Park Barracks
Being a venerable living record of colonial Australia, Hyde Park Barracks, is one of the best destinations you can plan your travels in historic Sydney. It is pretty popular as one of the eleven convict sites in Australia protected by UNESCO. It was designed to house the convicts sent from the United Kingdom. Time since, the Barracks has been used as an immigration depot, law courts and government offices. Located on Macquarie Street in the Sydney Central Business District, the Hyde Park Barracks is easy to commute to. Even though it is one of the eleven convict sites in Australia, it is often underappreciated and undervalued. But as mentioned earlier, it is a pretty important factor in the history of colonial Australia and one of the best remaining examples of large-scale convict shipment. The Hyde Park Barracks also has a considerable imprint in the colonial expansion of European powers through the convict’s labour. Today, it houses a modern museum. On a visit, you will hear the significance of Hyde Park Barracks in Australian colonialism. Get ready for a self-guided immersive experience, as different as it is entertaining.
