Park of the centenary of the founding of Australia – a huge public Park, spread over 220 hectares in the Eastern part of Sydney 4 km from the Central business district. Incidentally, the same name is a small suburb of Sydney, bordering the Park.

However, in January 1888, the Park was inaugurated in honor of the centennial anniversary since the founding of the first European settlement in Australia. The then Governor-General Lord Hopetoun dedicated the Park to all residents of New South Wales".

The Federation pavilion was erected next to the Plate of the Commonwealth in the year of the Bicentennial of Australia. And the Plate of the Commonwealth, made of Sandstone, is almost the only thing left from the original plaster of the pavilion, which was destroyed by time.
