Sydney's Hyde Park Barracks
Come and see inside the Hyde Park Barracks - one of the most imaginative museums I have visited so far. It really captures the history of Sydney from its earliest days where the land was mainly populated with convicts and into the later 19th century, where free settlers started to call NSW home!
I will be doing a few more vlogs while I am here exploring Sydney and its fascinating history. Don't forget to check out my blog too!

“Welcome new chum …” – a new convict arrival at the Hyde Park Barracks
September, 1819
For a ‘new chum’ convict there was a lot to learn about the life at the Hyde Park Barracks.
Luckily for Joe, there is a more experienced convict on hand to help him learn the ropes.
Including showing him how to get into his hammock while still wearing leg-irons!
Produced by Sydney Living Museums Learning
Using James Hardy Vaux’s list of convict slang, published in 1819 as A new and comprehensive vocabulary of the flash language, we took some creative licence and crafted some convict conversations. See how you go understanding what they say and visit slm.is/convictdaylife to learn more.

The Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney
Bronte takes you on a tour of Hyde Park Barracks in Sydney Australia. Built in 1819 by Governor Macquarie, the Barracks was designed to provide sleeping quarters for up to 1400 Convicts in order to keep them off the street, and more importantly, out of the pubs. It is now a beautifully preserved public Museum which houses many Convict relics, some of which were found in the rafters where they lay safe for antiquity by scavenging rats! There are many interactive exhibitions to explore and daily tours by knowledgeable guides who are happy to answer your questions about Convict Australia. It is located on Macquarie Street in the heart of the Sydney CBD and is educational and lots of fun.

The Hyde Park Barracks are at the southern end of Macquarie Street, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The barracks are located near the north-east corner of Hyde Park, opposite Queens Square and beside the Sydney Mint. Hyde Park Barracks were designed by the colonial architect Francis Greenway and built between 1818 and 1819[1]. It is managed by the Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales as a museum that is open to the public for a modest fee.
Constructed by convict labour in the 19th century, the Barracks is one of the most familiar works of the accomplished colonial England-born, Australian architect Francis Greenway. As the principal male convict barracks in New South Wales it provided lodgings for convicts working in government employment around Sydney until its closure in mid 1848.
It has had many occupants since then. It was an Immigration Depot for single female immigrants seeking work as domestic servants and awaiting family reunion from 1848 to 1886 and also a female asylum from 1862 to 1886. From 1887 to 1979 law courts and government offices were based at the Barracks.

With the assistance of the Unlocking Heritage pilot project, 3,000 students and their teachers from 100 primary schools in regional and rural NSW took part in this fully subsidised excursion between July 2015 and June 2017.

Hyde Park Barracks Museum - Floor graphics & Webpage
This floor graphics design and a mobile webpage is a reponse to a brief from museum of Sydney, which asked students to visually communicate historical stories of the site through environmental graphic concepts.
Hyde Park Barracks has been a crossroad for different groups of people, and accumulated layers of history as it transformed from a convict barrack to an immigration depot, government courts and now a museum. The footprints represents and acknowledges groups of people who went through this place and gives subtle hints to pedestrians about the context of the site, invites them to walk along and come inside.
As people walk along the footprints, they will access the mobile webpage which offers not only information about the footprints but also offers them to look around the site especially installation and No.24 court which are often neglected.
The design is focusing on lowering the barriers to entry to make people feel comfortable to come inside.
