Sydney Australia

Capital of the state of New South Wales, and gateway to Australia.

 

 

The Australian Museum

Sydney's Australian Museum claims to have the most important animal, mineral, fossil and anthropological collections in Australia.

The Australian Museum does active research into Australia's environments and indigenous cultures, and takes special interest in Biodiversity, Geodiversity and the Origins and Sustainability of Australia's unique environments and cultures.

The kinds of animals it specialises in are not those you'd normally go to see at a zoo. The Australian Museum has exhibits of Invertibrates, such as cenepedes, crustaceans, insects, segmented worms (much loved by fishermen as bait), spiders, snails and sea slugs (an Asian gourmet delecacy). just the stuff to appeal to the kids and make Mom cringe.

But it's not all creepy crawlies, you'll also find exhibitions of Australian birds, fishes, mammals and snakes - but don't worry, these ehbibits are all stuffed ones.

Where?
6 College Street,
Sydney 2010,
NSW, Australia.
General enquiries: (+612) 9320 6000.

You'll find the Australian Museum on the east side of Hyde Park, near the corner of College Street and William Street.)

It's only a 2-minute walk from there to St. Mary's Cathedral, so you might want to plan your day around taking in both.
