Our beautiful Neighbourhood Macquarie Street has been the center of the Sydney health care world since the building of the Rum Hospital in 1812. It is still standing up the other end of the street. You can also find the 1817 Hyde Park Barracks, and of course Sydneys oldest church St James is nearby. Parliament House, Sydney Hospital, and the State Library are all features, but down the BMA House end we have the quiet of the Royal Botanic Gardens outside our door. It is difficult to imagine a more remarkable, historic or beautiful street anywhere in Australia. This is a street walked by Captain Bligh and Governor Macquarie and Bjorn Utzen. You can feel the history. Botanic Gardens Directly oposite our doorway is the Palace Gardens Gate to the Royal Botanic Gardens. Conservatorium of Music Our neighbour, just across the street. Macquarie Street  With so much beauty and history it is impossible not to love our street The Octogon Looking into the BMA entry octogon from above. Sydney Harbour from BMA House, Macquarie Street. The view is ever changing depending on the weather. Whether sunny or misty it is always pure magic. The Octogon another view of this BMA entry area. Palace Garden Kiosk This casual little cafe is directly opposite our door. Downstairs.   We call this our stress management supplement. The perfect place for a quiet lunch break on a busy day. The Lotus Fountain Just across the street is this contemplative water feature.
