When visiting Hyde Park you shouldn't miss this lovely fountain. Just sit by and watch the world go by. It's a reminder of the amazing Architecture and designs that we used in the early days of Sydney.

    Built in 1932, the Archibald Fountain in the heart of Hyde Park is recognized as Australia's most beautiful public fountain artwork. The fountain was built to commemorate the Australian-French Union during World War I and was inspired by French sculptors in ancient Greek and Roman architecture and art. In addition to enjoying the fountain's independent view during the day, it can also be photographed with the Sydney Tower and the Cathedral of Our Lady. The fountain will also spray out colored water columns at night, forming another beautiful scene.

    Located in Hyde Park, the Archibald Fountain is named after the donor and is known as Australia's most beautiful public fountain, just a road from St Mary's Church. From Sydney’s CBD via Hyde Park to St Mary’s Church, into the Botanic Gardens and then to the Sydney Opera House, this is a classic walking route that will inevitably see the Archibald Fountain.

    Traveling to Australia, this stop came to Sydney, went around the attractions in the city, and came to Hyde Park. In Hyde Park there is a fountain, the Yacht Bird Fountain, considered the most beautiful public fountain in Australia, which is mainly characterized by sculpture art and is named after the donor, built to commemorate the Australian-French Union in World War I. The fountain is inspired by Roman architecture, and often has buskers performing outside the fountain, attracting many tourists and becoming one of the classic tourist photo attractions.

    Archibald Fountain is considered Australia's most beautiful public fountain. This group of fountains featuring bronze sculpture art is located in the northern part of Hyde Park. Fountains were built in 1932 and funded by J.F. Archibald, founder of the newspaper industry, and named after donors. They were built in memory of the French and Australian allied forces in World War I. The design of the fountain draws inspiration from the architecture and art of ancient Greece and Rome. The flowing fountain depicts a picture of Apollo surrounded by mysterious animals and animals. Apollo in the statue, with a Guqin in his left hand and an extended right hand, seems to comfort all living beings. Apollo's outstretched hand pointed to the east of St. Mary's Cathedral. Behind him was a fan-shaped jet of water representing the light of the sun. Behind him were three groups of Greek mythological gods and several groups of bronze sculptures in the pool. Designed by French sculptor Francois Sicard, the fountain is very romantic. The three groups of figures are all nude to express their meanings. The fountain is parallel to the west side of the cathedral. Behind it are the towering trees of Hyde Park. On sunny days, the cathedral can be seen from here. It has an unparalleled beauty. Archibald Fountain has long been recognized as a unique tourist attraction in Australia, as well as a venue for street performers and meetings of political groups.

    The only way to St. Mary's Church is by seagulls and other kinds of birds. They are not afraid of people. They sit nearby and take pictures very well. You can go to the botanical park after you get there. It's very close.
