State Library of New South Wales, statue

This bronze statue of Lieutenant General Sir Richard Bourke (1777–1855) stands outside the State Library of New South Wales, off Macquarie Street. He was an Irish-born Governor of New South Wales from 1831-1837. The sculpture on a granite plinth was created by Edward Hodges Baily and unveiled in 1842.

    I love to visit because I can feel the warmth from your photograph.
    It's a stunning statue captured in brilliant light.
    That cloudless blue sky isn't bad either ;D
