I live nearby so I can always come back.<br /><br />I went to Glasgow University School of Law which is ultra-traditional and nothing like as spectacular as this.LottiePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464376197679468718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030376163945608199.post-37693929444995301212011-01-24T14:00:41.495+11:002011-01-24T14:00:41.495+11:00Hi Lottie,

The <a href="http://www.fjmt.com.au/projects/projects_usydlaw.html" rel="nofollow">pictures</a> of it on the FJMT website are much better than mine and are worth a look (especially for the one with a wonderful juxtaposition of old and new).LottiePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464376197679468718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030376163945608199.post-49042151007620693532010-10-19T10:13:31.646+11:002010-10-19T10:13:31.646+11:00Wow, brought back some memories here - Syd Uni is ...Wow, brought back some memories here - Syd Uni is where I studied and lived.<br /><br />Drive through the Uni to and from dragon boat and sometimes outrigger training. Took them ages to construct the new Law Building. Have always noticed the new buildings, but have not taken the time to take a closer look. Great photos, I really like the Book Shelf photo and the one below it, the chair and stairs - great compositions.<br /><br />The crocodile might have something to do with one of the residential colleges (St John's). I remember back in my day, we always had a <i>"crocodile"</i> (I think it was called <i>"Dufus"</i>) in our College (Wesley) Master's swimming pool. <br /><br />Also the Head of the School of Physics, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Messel" rel="nofollow">Harry Messel</a>, had a <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/rn/inconversation/stories/2006/1732193.htm" rel="nofollow">thing</a> for crocodiles. <br /><br />Or maybe it's just an Ausrtalian thing?
