Girls Orphanage, Rydalmere.

It was a display of photos from the early days of Sydney which prompted this visit.


More photos from today can be seen at my other blog   Gumnuts and Other Stuff.

Bantry Bay

The Bantry Bay Explosives Magazine Complex is located in Garigal National Park and managed by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. The Complex occupies an area of around 14 hectares on both the eastern and western shores of the bay and consists of numerous buildings, seawalls, tram lines, wharves, slipways, tracks, dams, and other above-surface remains as well as a number of archaeological sites. It is an important but little known part of the cultural, and natural, heritage of Sydney.

More photos from this spot can be seen at Gumnuts and Other Stuff.
