Central Station
Eddy Ave, Haymarket NSW 2000
Grand sandstone railway terminus built atop a cleared nineteenth-century cemetery, with a soaring vaulted concourse.
This guide to Central Station in Sydney opens in 1901 with a young couple, Arthur and Josephine Foster, walking through Sydney's oldest cemetery with a notebook and a camera, racing to record it before the government tore it up for a railway terminus. It follows what happened to the as many as thirty thousand people buried on this ground, and the two months families were given to claim their dead. Stand beneath the vaulted roof of the Grand Concourse, roughly where row after row of colonial Sydney once rested.
