Thirsty anyone


This ornate canopy for a drinking fountain was one of eight ordered from Macfarlane's Iron Foundry in Scotland in 1870. They were ordered by Mayor Renny and placed in various locations around the city.

The design was tailored to the city's needs and incorporated the city's coat of arms.

 
 
 



This one was relocated to Macquarie Place in the 1970's.
