Sydney, A City in Another Hemisphere - Money Never Sleeps @ Martin Place

What's next to the historical Macquarie Street? Is it another area full of cultural atmosphere? Yes to some extent. Similarly there are many historical buildings in the area named Martin Place. However, they are the homes of financial giants rather than public organizations.

















Financial centre is certainly the base of the Reserve Bank.

















And the base of Occupy Sydney.
Address of 1 Martin Place belongs to the General Post Office. Wanna drop a mail to your friends / fans? Here's not the right place for the neo-classical building was sold in 1996. The former GPO now houses hotel, restaurants and shops.



































I prefer the interior which is classy and elegant.


Being one of the "big four" Australian Bank, Commonwealth Bank also set up its headquarter in Martin Place.

















Westpac, another member of "big four". Who can tell me the function of the night safe?

ANZ, also a member of "big four". Its building looks more modern in comparison with its neighbors.
Having a long day? May music provide you a peaceful mind.
How about grab a fruit to recharge?
Riding on this tricycle like cab may be more relaxing.
