Macquarie Visions
Discover our city as you’ve never seen it as you venture along the theatrically lit Macquarie Street and surrounding historic buildings.
From St Mary’s Cathedral and Hyde Park Barracks to Parliament House, the State Library of NSW and The Sydney Conservatorium of Music, these Grandes Dames of Sydney architecture are rendered with extraordinary light.
This on-foot nocturnal adventure starts with a dazzling light spectacle at St Mary’s Cathedral. Stones of the Cathedral will appear to literally rise out of the ground as the story of “Designing the Nation” unfold. Follow the light trail along Macquarie Street with historical and contemporary themes revealed in light.
Taking approximately one hour, the free public walk will be a storytelling journey using iconic Macquarie era buildings and Royal Botanic Gardens as the backdrop, on the way to Sydney Opera House and Circular Quay.
Macquarie Visions celebrates the 200th anniversary of Australian visionaries Governor Lachlan and Elizabeth Macquarie – the ultimate Sydney power couple.
