Yesterday a group of nine of us went to Sydney on the train. Some of us visited the State Library and some the Art Gallery.
We were intending originally to visit both, but decided that we wouldn't have enough time to do both justice, which is why we split between the two.
David, Lee and I decided that we would spend the day mainly at the library and the exhibitions there were fabulous. The rest of the group went to the art gallery.
Here is a collage of the library and some of the beautiful carvings in the sandstone walls of the building.
Lovely architecture and carved stone each beautifully captured and presented Babs, like the inclusion of the quote by Scotsman Thomas Carlyle very apt for a Library:)
@pcoulson Indeed, wise words from Thomas Carlyle. One of his quotes I seem to live by is 'I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom'
@hrs Yes the Mitchell Library is part of the State Library and yes there is a beautiful interior in the Mitchell and I am going to post that photo today.

Must visit again when new exhibitions are on there.
@jgpittenger @happypat Fabulous quotation by Thomas Carlyle too.
