OUR SYDNEY TOWN HALL TOUR



Painting of Clover Moore.
This picture has been painted on a piece of carpet and then framed. ( Our PROBUS group in the Council chambers and our group singing on stage.)

On Tuesday May 23rd a group of probus members travelled to Sydney where we enjoyed a tour of The Sydney Town Hall.
We almost bumped into the Mayor , Clover Moore as she arrived for her day, she wished us all good morning and hurried on .
It was a very interesting tour and everyone enjoyed it .
We marvelled at the beautiful ceilings ,chandelliers , paintings, sculptures etc that one doesn't get to see when one goes to watch a performance in the Town Hall
We were shown back stage and into the "green room", even stood on stage and say a song together (like voices of angels we reckon)....
We were taken into the Lord Mayors receptions rooms etc, visited the council chambers and generally had a good look at the parts of the Town Hall the public just don't see except on one of these tours.
The Sydney Town Hall is a magnificent building with such a lot of history attached.
I am sure we all learned something (history wise) that we didn't know about before the tour.
After the tour we all went round to the ( Catholic) club for lunch.
A lovely day was had by all before we all returned to Central Coast by train....
