The University of Sydney Quadrangle (A14)

This guide to the University of Sydney Quadrangle traces the work of sandstone masons Joseph Popplewell, Edwin Colley and a third man named Barnet, tasked in the 1850s with making a brand-new colonial university look like Oxford or Cambridge under architect Edmund Blacket. It covers the medieval tradition behind the gargoyles lining the clock tower, and the animal carvings that turn up alongside the dragons and demons. Look for the kookaburras above the northern foyer entrance while you listen.
