Breakfast Point, park
This white gazebo looks splendid in the sunshine on the village green, surrounded by many new apartments in the inner west suburb of Breakfast Point. The clouds rolling in behind it look rather menacing though. This is a relatively new residential suburb on land that was once the site of the Mortlake Gas Works of the Australian Gaslight Company from 1884 to 1990. The site beside the Parramatta River was ideal for the shipping of coal used in the process of carbonisation to obtain gas. This process was discontinued in 1971 when natural gas from the interior of Australia began being piped here, processed by giving it an odour for safety reasons and then distributed to consumers throughout the Sydney area.
I love gazebo's! This one is especially pretty in white :D
ReplyDeletethis could be one of the prettiest gazebos i've seen. on the thumbnail it sparkles.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful gazebo!
ReplyDeleteI love gazebos and lawns too,,, and I love trees. Is the area simply too new to have trees yet?
ReplyDeleteHi J Bar
ReplyDeletequesto gazebo è veramente bello !!!
Buona serata.
Why on earth is it called 'breakfast point'? It is all so pristine and white looking.
ReplyDeleteSzuper a blogod :-) nagyon szép helyeket látok Australiaról, én meg csak álmodok hogy valaha oda jusak :-) Viszont ebben a pavilonba simán el lennek :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful -- but I don't think I would want to watch a thunder and lightning storm from the lovely gazebo!
ReplyDeleteHels, there aren't too many trees in this area which they call the green. They have a cricket pitch here and gardens but not many trees.
ReplyDeleteJulie, there's a bit of a story to the origins of the suburb name Breakfast Point. I have another post from the suburb scheduled for tomorrow where I explain the origins.
What time is the brass band arriving?
ReplyDeleteBill, it certainly seems like a wonderful setting for a brass band to be playing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place. Please have a great Thursday.
ReplyDeleteLovely gazebos : )
ReplyDeleteI am astonished, never heard of Breakfast Point.
ReplyDeleteSweet gazebo.
ReplyDeleteThat has to be one of the prettiest gazebos I have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteI must wear a white dress, bring a white wicker basket and have a picnic in that gazebo which we call rotunda here. Such a romantic scene.
ReplyDeleteAnn, I believe that a gazebo is an open structure whereas as a rotunda describes a round enclosed building.
