A wooden pagoda would traditionally be built at this site to protect the rivers and ensure wealth to the village. Water flows from the golden sculpture to symbolise money and life.\n\nSaid to represent positive energy and good fortune, the sculpture incorporates the Shui Kou elements – or five natural elements – of wood, water, earth, fire and gold to harmonise the natural environment with the urban environment. The use of gold leaf also provides a historical link to the early Chinese settlers in the gold fields that surrounded the site of the tree’s original location in Condobolin, NSW.\n\nThe tree is said to encourage harmony and serenity in this vibrant location.\n\nARTIST\nLin Li was born in China in 1960 and studied sculpture in Luxiun College of Fine Arts from 1982-1987. She arrived in Australia in 1990 and studied at the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales from 1993-1995, completing a Master in Sculpture."},{"metadata":{"width":1000,"height":664},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FDiYyIXRBenrrSdIRl5Gi%2FGolden%20Water%20Tree.jpg?alt=media&token=389d98e9-a546-4c41-be6a-c9beb701780b"}]},{"address":"477 Pitt St","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":-33.88063751066332,"longitude":151.20647945},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Tech Central Scaleup Hub - by Stone and Chalk"},{"metadata":{"width":1000,"height":563},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FDiYyIXRBenrrSdIRl5Gi%2F2.png?alt=media&token=36ed4154-ef7c-4f5e-8082-e4afb84daf06"},{"type":"text","content":"Located at 477 Pitt Street in Sydney, a short walk from Central Station, The Tech Central Scaleup Hub is designed for scaleups and those who support them.\n\nSplit over 6 levels and 8,000 sqm of open and flexible commercial office space, it offers a range of private office suites, meeting rooms, event spaces and spillover workspaces.\n\nThis is Stone & Chalk’s second Hub in Sydney and builds on the mission to transform Australia into a sustainable technology-driven economy."},{"type":"link","content":"www.stoneandchalk.com.au/techcentral"},{"type":"link","content":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnieaLvOpu4"}]},{"address":"Central","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":-33.882392697688005,"longitude":151.20572302911378},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Central Terminal Clock Tower"},{"metadata":{"width":880,"height":1600},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FDiYyIXRBenrrSdIRl5Gi%2F(1)Central_Railway_clock_tower.jpg?alt=media&token=47c56a46-add8-4f67-8fb2-b6970b4e28f9"},{"type":"text","content":"The Central Station Clock Tower has kept Sydney running on time for nearly 100 years.

The clock faces were so visible over the city it became colloquially known as ‘the working man’s watch’.\n\nCentral Station is one of Sydney’s major landmarks and heritage icons. The clock tower was constructed as part of the second phase of building, and ticked into Sydney’s urban experience on 12 March 1921, 15 years after the station opened. Due to the shortage of steel at the time, reinforced concrete was used to construct the tower’s shaft. The exterior was faced with sandstone and adorned with detailing consistent with the rest of Central Station.\n\nSince 1921 the clock tower has undergone two major restoration projects, one in the 1980s and the second in 2011–12.
