Leaving a sunny Adelaide I arrived to a wet and overcast Sydney, looking across to Central Station the clouds and the clock tower caught my attention more than the skycrapers that could be seen around.
Opened on 4 August 1906, Central Station is the third station to be built in its vicinity since the first station opened 51 years earlier. Central was built to accommodate the growing number of passengers as New South Wales railways expanded.
With its high arched roof, Central's Grand Concourse was one of its most impressive features when first opened and remains so today. Over the last century, imagine how many people have arranged to 'meet under the clock' on the concourse?
Central's sandstone Clock Tower was a later addition, officially brought into use at 10.22am on 3 March 1921. Stretching up at 85.6 metres tall
