Old GPO Sydney

I still remember the old street directories that used to have an arrow pointing towards the GPO on every page. At that young age I probably didn't understand that it was pointing to Sydney's central post office. The building stands within Martin Place and though towered over by many tall buildings the spectacular clock tower still stands tall. With the clock keeping Sydney on time, the mail would have been quickly sorted in the bowels underneath.

Since about 1996 the GPO has been converted into a hotel with office space. No longer does the GPO serve as the GPO, however the great sandstone building remain, continuing to keep the grand structure on display.
