This large public space is best known for its popular, free January concerts, and as a rallying point for Sydneysiders whenever debatable issues of public importance have arisen. In 1931 it attracted an enormous crowd of more than 100,000 protesting against the Governor General's dismissal. These days the large crowds are on a rather more peaceful mission, they pack a picnic and a bottle of wine and serenade to the sounds of Jazz in the Domain and Symphony in the Domain.
