Here is its monument to the men who fought and died in the war and here, periodically, the citizens pay homage. The General Post Office is the main feature of the short street, and all the buildings are of sound construction, especially the State Savings Bank ( right foreground), in which a great quantity of marble has been used and which is one of Australia's outstanding architectural features. No visitor to Australia should miss seeing the interior of this bank. Sydney is the largest city in the Commonwealth, with a population of more than 1, 000,000, and for beauty and attraction its harbour and surf beaches are unsurpassed.
