This is the first university in Oceania, often called the "Southern Hemisphere's Hogwarts" because its historic buildings closely resemble those of Cambridge University, leading many Harry Potter fans to mistakenly believe it was a filming location. This was also what drew our interest.

After getting off our transport, we got a bit lost. We noticed that all buildings in the area bore the University of Sydney logo, but couldn't locate the main entrance, leaving us unsure whether we were actually on campus already.

We eventually found the "Harry Potter building." The Quadrangle features a vast lawn at its center, divided into four sections by intersecting pathways. Standing at the crossroads between these four lawns and looking around, the view is spectacular - it truly does resemble Hogwarts.
