Tank Stream Bar, Tank Stream Way

Tank Stream Bar is a small laneway bar in Tank Stream Way. The settlement of Sydney was centred on the Tank Stream, which was a stream of fresh water that emptied into Sydney Cove. It was covered in the mid 1800s but still flows beneath the city and this laneway as part of the stormwater system.

  10. The awnings almost look like heavy eyelids with a little brown shadow... Okay, I have a vivid imagination! Nice reflections.

    I enjoyed reading about the geography and history of the stream.

  11. I really like that mess of lanes between Bridge St and CQ. Not the most beautiful of areas, but with a distinct charm of its own.

  12. Nice reflections Jim, interesting to think that's still all going on underneath the street.
