Bathurst Street, Sydney

Bathurst Street, Sydney

Bathurst Street is a cross street in the Central Business District of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is situated in the southern portion of the Sydney central business district and runs from Darling Harbour in the west, across the ridge where it crosses George Street, and then on to Elizabeth Street in the east at Hyde Park.

The Obelisk at Hyde Park, terminates the vista of Bathurst Street. It was erected in 1857 and unveiled by the Mayor, George Thornton. The monument is actually a sewer vent, and soon the joke around town was to call it 'Thornton’s Scent Bottle'. [Water Supply and Sewerage, "Thornton's Scent Bottle".
