The Hyde Park Barracks are at the southern end of Macquarie Street, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The barracks are located near the north-east corner of Hyde Park, opposite Queens Square and beside the Sydney Mint. Hyde Park Barracks were designed by the colonial architect Francis Greenway and built between 1818 and 1819[1]. It is managed by the Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales as a museum that is open to the public for a modest fee.
Constructed by convict labour in the 19th century, the Barracks is one of the most familiar works of the accomplished colonial England-born, Australian architect Francis Greenway. As the principal male convict barracks in New South Wales it provided lodgings for convicts working in government employment around Sydney until its closure in mid 1848.
It has had many occupants since then. It was an Immigration Depot for single female immigrants seeking work as domestic servants and awaiting family reunion from 1848 to 1886 and also a female asylum from 1862 to 1886. From 1887 to 1979 law courts and government offices were based at the Barracks.

@OohGoshYoureRight Thank you for the info!

@cttn101

Nope, it is correct to say that a building is unfinished until it is finished.

Had you seen it before?

It looked unfinished.

Like millions of Cathedral world-wide, whose benefactors die before they can pay for the spire.

Nob Hill Church (Grace Cathedral) CA.

Cheers.

@GubblebumPink Yeah, I agree, but I still don't think he invented it, he must have heard it... I think... hehe

[GubblebumPink]

@diogok True, but I am a Sydneysider too, and I just meant that I think some of the things the guides say are not accurate and are said just for the sake of being "funny". I have never heard anybody call it the golden bucket, ever! I understand these people are not professional tour guides, however if it were me, I would try to give as accurate information as possible, it's okay to throw in some jokes but not at the expense of accuracy... just my opinion! :-)

[diogok]

@GubblebumPink Well, the guy is a Sydneysider so he must have heard from someone...

[GubblebumPink]

@cttn101 I agree... I have never heard it referred to as the 'golden bucket' in my whole life :-/

[cttn101]

your not suppose to tell tourist that they only finished it 9 years ago... that was only the spires anyhow... the rest of was completed when you said... 1860 something... Golden Bucket..?? corny much..? its called centrepoint u doosh.. lol
