This walkway along the shore of Homebush Bay and in front of blocks of flats is in the inner west suburb of Rhodes. This is another suburb along the Parramatta River that was once an industrial area but has been redeveloped into a residential and commercial area in recent years. The suburb was named after a property on the peninsula that was demolished in 1919 to build flour mills. Heavy industry in the suburb included a sawmill with timber yard from 1900, foundry manufacturing iron pipes from 1911 and a number of chemical manufacturers from 1930.
This is a nice place to stay. Very scenic views nearby.

ReplyDeleteNice flats !
ReplyDeleteI am always getting mixed up with these European names, now I thought I was in Greece, lol !
They must have a lovely view!
ReplyDeleteLa visuale รจ veramente molto bella !!!
ReplyDeleteAvere un appartamento in questo postoi mi piacerebbe molto :-))
Buona serata.
It looks new, clean, and attractive. I think it will be better when the trees have grown...
ReplyDeleteI like how all these new residential areas along the harbour include walks that wind in and around. Makes for good fitness even though the sense of community might be improved upon.
ReplyDeleteSurely deserving the name with such a view.
ReplyDeletePlease have a great start into the weekend.

I could live there so long as the smell of Timbrols has gone.
ReplyDeleteI could enjoy living in a place like that.
ReplyDeleteGrace, the early property owner Thomas Walker named his house after his grandmother's house Rhodes Hall in England. There may have been some connection to the Greek island but I don't know the history there.
ReplyDeleteBruce, that chemical company is long gone and this is a really great place to live these days.
Enviable view from those flats!
ReplyDeleteit seems like they have a wonderful view.
ReplyDeleteThis picture is perfect, the composition, the light, everything!!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great idea to make the banks of the river residential instead of industrial. It is happening here too. I would like to walk along that pathway.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I had never seen the Sydney map as I did today: these beautiful apartments made me want to know where they are, so I learned (on the map) the river Parramatta, Breakfast Piont, Rhodes, everything you photograph.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, really, I like this place that you live in.
It seems like a wonderful place to relax.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit.
Following you.
Have a nice Sunday!
