At the southern end of Hyde Park in Sydney is the ANZAC War Memorial, completed in 1934 to honor the Australian Imperial Force that fought in WWI. Inside the memorial is a somber environment and a small museum dedicated to preserving artifacts from Australia's involvement in various foreign conflicts. It does not glorify war, but rather serves as a memorial to the brave men and woman who gave their lives protecting Australia and her interests.




After leaving the memorial, I wandered across Hyde Park to St. Mary's Cathedral. They didn't allow photography inside the cathedral, but I got a few pictures around the outside before and after going inside.




After that I needed to get back to my hotel room to grab my bags and head for the airport. I had a good time in Sydney and can't want to get back! Now I needed to prepare myself for the 20 hours of air-time it takes to get from Sydney to Chicago. Thanks to Matt, all my Sydney friends, and my co-workers for helping to make the trip a rewarding time, personally and career-wise.
