Breakfast Point, community hall
A winter sky over the community hall in the inner west suburb of Breakfast Point. The Breakfast Point Community Hall was only built in 2005 but the style and material makes it look like a church built in another century. The suburb was named to honour the point of contact between Europeans and Aborigines. Captain John Hunter's expedition were exploring the Parramatta River and having breakfast here on 5th February 1788 when they encountered the traditional owners of the land, the Wangal Clan. John Hunter, later became the Governor of New South Wales.
Beautiful skies! Terrific capture! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I would never say it was built in 2005. Lovely!

Funnily enough, I learnt this yesterday, too, when I toured Spectacle Island with the National Maritime Museum.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky!
ReplyDeleteGreetings:)
I immediately thought of a Presbyterian church, - unusual but beautiful building for community activities.
ReplyDeleteNeat and beautiful capture! thanks for providing the links. This is what i like with blogging, I am not simply admiring the photo but am learning something.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteSky Watch, have a nice weekend!
Fantastic capture. Love it.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
I love this photo very clear and I like the lighting. Is it winter in Australia now? Happy weekend!

Manang Kim, yes we're right in the middle of winter now. We still have blue skies but it's quite cold.
ReplyDeleteInteresting story, and that retro look. Great picture.
ReplyDeleteI especially like your sky, as the Church just brings reflection to the scene.
ReplyDeleteBeing a Pastor's wife for almost 50 years, I always appreciate a nice picture of a Church and Steeple.
It is a lovely building but am I wrong if I say it does not have an Australian feel? I would rather expect this building in the US.
ReplyDeleteIf you didn't tell me that it was built in 2005, I would have said what a beautifully preserved building it is.
ReplyDeleteJossie, I'd agree with that. It's not the sort of building you usually see around Sydney, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteThe lighting and sky are just right. Nicely photographed.
ReplyDeleteLove sightings of these small churches whenever I'm on driving holidays across big continents like yours.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. Beautiful sky and the building looks like a miniature, a toy.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.

What a beautiful mean to measure time. Please have a nice Friday.

Nice work.
ReplyDeleteNice shot! Would you like to visit my church?
ReplyDeletePerfect sky for photographing the community hall. I like the clean lines of the structure against the clear blue sky.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a country USA shot, nice works as usual Jim.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful structure.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo Jim! And a very interesting story. Looks very much like an old church somewhere in America!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful winter day! Thanks for the picture.
ReplyDeletethanks bro for this information, visit back to Download Ebook Gratis, god bless you :)
ReplyDeletesuperbly composed and shot!
ReplyDeleteGive me some of that blue sky for tomorrow and Sunday. We had enough rain for the whole week.
ReplyDeletethese look like very mod buildings...i remember going to bush dances in the community halls when i was young...do they still have them?
ReplyDeleteVery pure and beautiful!
ReplyDeletegorgeous skies!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful building. I also thought it was a church, until I read your post :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful winter blue sky! The church does look much older than 5 years, and what an interesting history JBar.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful structure.
ReplyDeleteLovely views you have been sharing with us of Sydney, thanks for adding to the Sky Watch Friday party.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful capture of the pretty blue skies!
ReplyDeleteGood shot! Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sky.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very attractive building.
ReplyDeleteLovely style for a community hall! It looks a little church-like!
ReplyDeleteVery nicely captured. And yes the building is indeed a throwback to another era. Have a great week-end.
ReplyDeleteNice shot Jim, nice building and looks like a great setting too. Thanks for sharing and visiting my blog:)
ReplyDeleteA neat looking breakfast meeting place. I like to see
ReplyDeleteoriginal styles of buildings reproduced so well for
the modern eye. Good foreground for the sky shot!
Yup, I thought it was a church too. Very neat-looking community center.
ReplyDeleteI really like your photo - and too a community hall so different from "normal"!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend ;-)
Interesting history lesson.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful blue sky! It looks great against the church.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
dancingmatilda365, I imagine those dances in the community halls still happen in the bush but probably not much in the city these days.
ReplyDeleteVery well maintained building, doesnt look it's long long years ago, was captured perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThe community hall look very beautiful and yes, at first I thought it was a church. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteLovely architecture and beautiful skies!
ReplyDeleteHappy SWF!
This sky makes a perfect background for the church.
ReplyDeleteThe wispy clouds are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI wish our winter skies looked like that - thats what our summer sky today looked like!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful photo!Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteCool name for a suburb...Breakfast Point! Looks inviting against those eternal blue skies!
ReplyDeletewonderful pics...flipped back through several...thanks for popping by today.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky, beautiful gazebo. Why is it called Breakfast Point?
ReplyDeleteGotta' be a story there. (We drive by all kinds of weirdly named places on our travels and I always try to look them up,but don't always find the answer.)
Sallie, the orgin of this suburb's name is in this post.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots and a nice week ahead with more awesome shots to come!
