| St Mary's Cathedral |
This is where I found peace.
This was last Sunday, I had to visit Australian Museum (I wouldnt go otherwise). On my way, from the relaxing confines of Hyde Park, St. Mary's majestic was inviting.

This is the place where I found peace, first time I came to Australia. I felt an incredible sense of peace and calm when I entered this old Cathedral. This has nothing to do with religion. Even if you are not of Catholic faith, you will find this church beautiful. It has some sort of majesty. It is one of Sydney's most treasured historic buildings and one of the finest example of English-style gothic churches in the world. Photos were not allowed inside; however, I managed to take few with my phone. The church has some stunning altars, paintings, artefacts and stain glassed windows. The entry is free unlike Australian Museum just across the road at College Street.

| Framework of survival |
With limited time on my hands, I paid $8 (concession) to get in. I did not take much notice on native livings, birds, insects and gem stones but bones, basically of dinosaurs, elephants and human(Framework of survival). Beside the permanent exhibits, there was 'The Alexander, the Great' on show.

| Parade |
Pretty warm day to be inside and enjoy the exhibitions but since I was in hurry, I had to leave. I saw a parade on my way back, I couldn't tell what was the parade for. Also, I met Pope (I guess he is) in Cathedral giving his blessings to visitors.
