Dronning Victoria-bygningen er et ærverdig gammelt kjøpesenter i sentrum av Sydney. Av en eller annen grunn gav Irland denne statuen av dronning Victoria, som egentlig stod i Dublin, til Australia. Irene syntes kanskje hun så litt skummel ut. Det synes i hvert fall jeg.   The Queen Victoria Building in downtown Sydney is a shopping centre these days. For some reason, Ireland gave Australia this statue of the queen in 1947. Until then it had stood outside the legislative assembly in Dublin. Maybe the Irish thought she looked a wee bit too scary? I certainly think it does.
