- Members of the Architecture Tour, including our tour guide Terrance outside the Readers Digest Building in Surry Hills. It’s quite a fascinating building.

- The first main stop was one of Surry Hill’s hidden delights, a house designed by Francis Greenway. Although a classic simple-lined Georgian house (the kind of house a five year old might draw), this house has the added influence of a verandah.

- The St Margaret’s Hospital complex on Bourke Street. Although I’ve walked past it many times, I’ve never been there, and have never appreciated how interesting architecturally it is. Nor how it combines so well with the area.

- Along the way, we also stopped at the old Railway Institute Building (located next to the entrance to the Devonshire Street Tunnel at Central) which has classic Dutch-designed gables, combined with English-style brickwork.
