I gather that it was the site of some flour mills years ago, and it has been done up to house a restaurant/café, and an outdoor eating area, some outside stalls, and they have a few pet animals as well. Nearby was a providore called Cheese, Meat and Salt.
Here are some photos of the Grounds of Alexandria.

We had lunch there and walked back through Sydney Park to the station and home. It was an enjoyable day out.

Hi Yvonne. That looks like a lovely place to visit. Sounds like you had a wonderful time.

Thanks Yvonne... for taking us on that trip with you. My father worked in Alexandria years ago when it was very industrial...but it looks very trendy now. Great day out on a trip down to Sydney. xox
What an interesting place. Thanks for sharing. I saw some of those coloured roses here- so unusual. I had to buy some of them as I like all things rainbow. I ended up drying them so I could keep them forever.
What a lovely day out Yvonne...will remember this if we're up that way sometime!
