Darling harbour to the city centre

Twenty minutes later my walk around the city takes me to the Victoria Building (A magnificent colonial façade with grandeur seeping off every adornment in the architecture - now, of course, a luxury shopping mall). Only the high range shops have a place in its gleaming arcade (check out the castle and enormous hanging clock on your visit - no picture of these I am afraid). Finally outside the Victoria building you will find both a stature of Victoria and a wishing well, but not just any wishing well, oh no… This one speaks!!! If you stand in front of it and throw in a coin (preferably gold - don’t be cheap if you can afford it!!) the small wiry terrier sculpture on its front will thank you for donating towards charitable works supporting blind children.
