TAYLOR SQUARE
OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP
(cnr Oxford & Bourke Sts; Museum) You know it's been a rough night if you wake up in Taylor
Sq - a vaguely defined paved area straddling Oxford St, and also the hub of
Darlinghurst's gay nightlife. The stern Greek Revival Darlinghurst Courthouse (1842)
watches the goings-on, no doubt disapprovingly.
SQUARE
Near the courthouse is a heritage-listed Edwardian underground toilet (closed), while
on the Surry Hills side a sporadic fountain shoots enemas at unsuspecting passers-by.
Continuing the theme are sculpted, metre-high suppositories, housing an outdoor gallery
of sorts.

( 9360 6844; www.stjohnsanglican.org.au ; 120 Darlinghurst Rd; 10am-2.30pm Mon, Tue & Thu-Sat;
Kings Cross) Grab a pamphlet inside this lovely sandstone church (1858) for an interesting
10-minute, self-guided tour. It makes for a hushed escape from the urban jangle of
Darlinghurst Rd and the car wash next door. The Anglican congregation runs the Rough
Edges Community Centre, working with the area's many homeless.
