ZIMO.

In fact, Sydney's punching spots are quite concentrated basically in Hyde Park, the Royal Botanic Gardens, the Opera House and the Circular Quay. Known as the mother of the Australian Catholic Church, St. Mary's Cathedral is next to Hyde Park. This Gothic-style cathedral is absolutely culturally relic in Australia - it was built in 1821 and was destroyed by fire. It was rebuilt in 1865 and was not completed until 1928, more than 60 years later. The Cathedral of St. Mary is naturally magnificent and magnificent, but compared to the cathedrals of Europe far from the Renaissance, the churches in Australia seem to be inferior. What impressed me the most in the church was the Monument to the Unknown Soldiers, a sculpture of the fallen soldiers of the ANZAC during the First World War. The base was engraved with such a sentence: "The Australians who died in the war, their names Immortal." --Australians who have established themselves in the wild, although they seem to be a bit sloppy, they are still a country that advocates heroes. Perhaps this sunny good day is a good day. In the square outside the cathedral, we witnessed a pair of newcomers coming in and out of the church to hold the wedding. The marriage ceremony of Australians is much simpler than that of the Chinese. The newcomers step into the church and read the oath in front of the priest. They accept the blessings of the relatives and friends and end it. It is compact and convenient. In Hyde Park opposite the church, there are many newcomers to take wedding photos and wedding photos white, black, Indian and Chinese, and the diversity of Australias immigrant country is here.
