  The Observatory
by martin_nl
 
 

The first building at the same place where you will now find the Observatory, used to stand a windmill and that was also the first european building. The Observatory houses some of the oldest astronomical instruments of Australia. Entrance to the Observatory is free. However if you want to have a peek through the telescopes you have to make an appointment for the evening and then you do have to pay a few dollars.

Address: Watson Road
Directions: The Observatory can be found on Observatory Hill, The Rocks.
