Birchgrove, Ballast Point Park, art

 This view of Ballast Point Park in Birchgrove shows a couple of public artworks. "Delicate Balance" by Robyn Backen, hangs over the water's edge, looking out on Sydney Harbour and Mort Bay at Balmain. The wall with a watery theme features the words "Like us, water breathes and dances to and fro between the earth and sky". It uses a dot font typeface used throughout the park to reflect the thousands of rivets and circular tanks that were once located on this former oil refinery site.

    This is really beautiful. I like seeing the Anzac bridge in the background.

    Luis Gomez, I made an effort to get the Anzac Bridge in, with the angle of this shot. :)

    Do other visitors ask what that tube is for?

    Ann, the tube dominates the shoreline, so it certainly is a curiosity for visitors.
