Glebe, Blackwattle Bay, crane

An extensive walkway runs along the foreshore of Blackwattle Bay, in the inner west suburb of Glebe. The walkway features a number of monuments from this area’s industrial past. The crane is a remnant of Stride’s ship breaking yard which was located where Blackwattle Bay Park is today. Anzac Bridge and the apartment blocks at Pyrmont can be seen in the distance.

  3. The moment I saw your thumbnail I knew that was the Anzac Bridge in the background. Lovely shot. I like the idea of the old pieces being used as sculptures. What a great idea. genie

  6. The industrial monuments along the walkway is a great reminder for those who stop to pay attention. Then again, one might just be overwhelmed with the majesty of the ANZAC Bridge looming.

  10. Useful information. Fortunate for me I discovered your website unintentionally, and I am surprised why this coincidence didn't happen in advance! I bookmarked it.
