Lonely Planet review for Customs House
This cavernous harbourside edifice (1885) houses the three-level Customs House Library. There’s a great selection of international newspapers and magazines to scan, as well as internet access and interesting temporary exhibitions. In the lobby, look for the swastikas in the tiling (and the scratched-to-oblivion plaque explaining their symbolism); and a charmingly geeky 1:500 Sydney model under a glass floor. The fab Café Sydney is on the top floor.
