St Peters, recycling centre

These enormous Olympic Rings are located at the entrance of a recycling centre in the inner west suburb of St Peters, just off Princes Highway. During the Sydney 2000 Olympic Gamesthese types of rings were illuminated and displayed around the city at various live sites. This monochrome set was salvaged and appropriately displayed outside this recycling centre.
