Family Court of Australia, Goulburn Street
The Family Court of Australia is a federal court that in Sydney is located in the Lionel Bowen Building on Goulburn Street. The buiding which was opened in 1994, is named after a former Deputy Prime Minister and Attorney General, Lionel Bowen. This contemporary building is not particularly remarkable but it does feature a unique sculpture over the entrance that always catches my attention when I walk past.
Did you go to see Prince William?
ReplyDeleteIt's so hot here, how is it dow in Sydney?
Thank you for sharing some of an Australian city with us!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that they have that sculpture on such a modern looking building. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks you for sharing the Sydney cityscape with us. It is such a mixed of old and new beautiful city.
ReplyDeleteCourt bulidings always seem imposing
ReplyDeleteInteresting architecture! Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteThese buildings are wonderful. Fun.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your post when you show some of your great city. I was there once, but did not get to see as much as I wanted. My sister became ill, so that stopped us from doing a lot touring. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMaybe just perfect to reflect the "strength" of a family.
ReplyDeleteYet, wonder what this court is about, whether there are things inside, making one smile or cry.
Please have a wonderful weekend.
It's interesting how the man and the woman in the sculpture on the Family Court building are looking in different directions ...

Robert, unfortunately I think the family law courts deal with more things that make one cry rather than smile.
ReplyDeleteAnn, it's very hot in Sydney today. Heatwave conditions. We're expecting 39 degrees celsius. I have no interest in seeing visiting royalty and it seems, the same goes for most Australians these days.
I like the colours in the building. Nice shots.
ReplyDeleteInteresting sculpture. It almost suggests that the family court has a great weight resting on its shoulders. What that weight symbolises, I guess, is the real question.
