Once upon a time, way before email, a time even before Aussie Post was called Aussie Post, there was the Post Master Generals Office also later known as the PMG.

I was stunned when I visited the General Post Office Building in Martin Place in Sydney on Friday while I went looking for architectural examples around the city. There's certainly many examples of fine architecture to be had.

This one caught my attention as the sweeping stairs take you up to the Mezzanine which then leads you to the first floor.

But being the bustling city on a Friday afternoon, there were too many people around to take the photo I wanted so I had to return around midnight when only the cleaner could be heard down in the lower floors.

I literally had to lay down on the carpet to get this shot and didn't use any flash.

Hope you enjoy.
