Glebe Jubilee Fountain

Public fountains were once a familiar sight in Sydney. Street widening, city improvements and the public's desire for hygienic sources of water led to their demise. The Glebe Jubilee fountain on Glebe Point Road at the corner of Broadway, Glebe, is one of a few remaining public fountains.
