Book excerpt: It is an illustration of the Garden Palace building in Sydney, designed by James Barnet. James Barnet's Garden Palace, constructed for the 1879 Sydney International Exhibition in the grounds of the Botanic Gardens, was erected in eight months using electric lights imported from England so that work could be carried out at night. It would be another 25 years before the then Lady Mayoress, Mrs Samuel E Lees turned on the switch to illuminate the streets of Sydney using power from Pyrmont Power Station. Sadly the Garden Palace was destroyed by fire on 22 September 1882 and the Sèvres vase, which had been transferred to Sydney Town Hall at the conclusion of the exhibition, is one of the few remaining exhibits to have survived.

Book excerpt: In 1879 the Garden Palace brought the International Exhibition to a little known city called Sydney in a very big country called Australia. This colonial masterpiece of achitecture was destined to live hard but die young and was burnt to the ground after a massive blaze only three years later in 1882. To commemorate the buildings 100th Anniversary, it was re-built in 1979 to house the Palace Theatre, the largest in Sydney, capable of housing 3,000 patrons for classical and musical performances. Whilst the new Garden Palace lasted decades longer than its predecessor, there was always danger lurking beneath its foundations. The legend of the Garden Palace Devil had been synonymous with the building ever since the early days of construction when mysterious happenings took place. No one had ever seen this mythical creature, however whenever anything went missing or a piece of scenery toppled over, it was always blamed on the Garden Palace Devil. But this legend was born from very real and tragic events that occured long before the walls began to rise on this new building. There was indeed something lurking in the building that had been there long before any one else could recall - that is except Terrence Knight. His recent return to the Garden Palace caused a very strong eruption within the walls of the building and the strange events began to escalate. At the same time, a new wave of employees had entered the building to be the new Ambassadors of the Garden Palace to be the face of the building and conduct tours for the many visitors. Whilst discovering the history of the building, a few of them discover the unrest that's brewing under the surface. When they learn about the legend of the Garden Palace Devil, they decide to risk their jobs and their lives to find out who the devil really is.Terrence Knight has an ally to help keep them out of his way so that he can find the 'devil' himself and put an end to the legend once and for all. But who is the real devil? This easy-to-read novel is the first volume in the Garden Palace series based on the now destroyed colonial building. Whilst a new building was never built on the site, this series brings it to life in this modern city. With 15 original drawings by Sydney artist Nana Sakata it is a visual feast of imagery to accompany this suspenseful adventure.

Download or read book Sydney written by Jan Morris and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2010-09-16 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned and much-loved travel writer Jan Morris turns her eye to Sydney: 'not the best of the cities the British Empire created ... but the most hyperbolic, the youngest at heart, the shiniest.' Sydney takes us on the city's journey from penal colony to world-class metropolis, as lively and charming as the city it describes. With characteristic exuberance and sparkling prose, Jan Morris guides us through the history, people and geography of a fascinating and colourful city. Jan Morris's collection of travel writing and reportage spans over five decades and includes such titles as Venice, Hong Kong, Spain, Manhattan '45, A Writer's World and the Pax Britannica Trilogy. Hav, her novel, was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and the Arthur C. Clarke Award. 'Sydney should be flattered. A great portrait painter has chosen it for her recent subject . . . Few writers - a handful of novelists apart - have got so far under the city's skin as Morris . . . Few Sydneysiders could match her knowledge of their city's history and its anecdotes' The Times 'The writing is, at times, like surfing: sentences rise like vast waves above which she rides, never overbalancing into gush . . . Jan Morris convincingly explains modern Sydney through its history' Observer

Book excerpt: ‘The finest harbour deserves the finest book … A colourful, fascinating and enduring account of the greatest waterway in the hemisphere.’Simon Winchester ‘This book is a joy to read. And essential for anyone who loves Sydney Harbour ... And who doesn’t?’Ken Done In the bestselling tradition of Peter Ackroyd's The Thames, a celebration of one of the world’s great waterways. Everyone knows Sydney Harbour. At least, we think we do. Everyone can see the harbour, whether we have ever been to Sydney or not. By as little as a word or two, the harbour floats into our mind’s eye. The Bridge. The Opera House. Fireworks on New Year’s Eve. When we see those images, we feel a sense of belonging. No matter who we are or where we’re from, we see the harbour and we feel good. In this beautiful, authoritative and meditative journey, Scott Bevan takes us from cove to cove, by kayak, yacht and barge to gather the harbour’s stories, past and present, from boat builders, ship captains and fishermen to artists, divers, historians and environmentalists, from signs of ancient life to the submarine invasion by the Japanese and the natural beauty that inspires people every day. This is the ultimate story of Sydney Harbour – a city’s heart and a country's soul.
