Clock Tower Stock Image

The most striking part of Sydney`s Central Station is the 75 meter tall 246 ft clock tower, situated at the northwestern corner of the building. The sandstone tower in Gothic Revival style was built between 1915 and 1920. The clock only started operating the next year, on March 3, 1921. The four clock faces each have a diameter of 4.77 meter close to 16 ft. 302 steps lead to the clock. In the past the adventurous could climb all the way to the top, but unfortunately those tours were cancelled indefinitely.
