The Ranger's Residence in Centennial Park sits on the crest of a small hill near the Robertson Road Gates. The house was built in 1899 and designed by Walter Vernon in the in the Federation Arts and Crafts architectural style. It had been used continuously as accommodation for park staff and rangers until 2008. The Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust restored it and built the picket fence around it in 2010. It is currently is the head office of Conservation Volunteers Australia.

It's a beautiful old lodge Jim, what a great place for the conservation volunteers to have as their headquarters. btw. I'm going with your theory that the mysterious 'thing' in the water by the Centennial boardwalk is a giant squid, what else could it possibly be!!
ReplyDeleteI like it when old homes are recycled!
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely place

My goodness,those trees are so tall!
ReplyDeleteIs this the one near the top of Oxford Street in Paddington? Looks kind of similar but I don't recognise it from that angle.
ReplyDeleteAnn, no it's not that one. It's near the entrance from Moore Park and Fox Studios.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a nice place to live (if it weren't for all the responsibility that comes along with the house!)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo, beautiful palm trees. Greetings.

ReplyDeleteNice, well designed house. As a child in the western USA my father was a Forest Ranger and we lived in various Ranger Residences. None were as nice as this and I would be astonished if any were still standing.
