These streaky clouds are above the Weather Station in Centennial Park. The original weather station was constructed here in 1907 to assist European settlers across Australia to understand and predict the weather. It was used to measure the minimum and maximum temperatures until it was decommissioned in 1975 and dismantled. In 2008, it was reconstructed as a permanent interpretation of the old weather station, housing information panels telling the history.
Very nice...

Always amazes me that you photograph popular scenes with no passers-by in them!

ReplyDeleteHow bizarre we moderns are. We pay good money to construct a useful site, use it, tear it down, realise our loss 3 decades later, then pay good money to rebuilt the site on another location.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how these weather stations work, but his one is nice looking.
