Barangaroo, Harbour Control Tower

The Sydney Ports Harbour Control Tower is located in the inner city suburb of Barangaroo. It was once used by the Sydney Harbour port facilities before they were moved to Port Botany. This photo which shows the exposed sandstone cliff was taken a few years ago. This area has now been extensively redeveloped into Barangaroo Reserve and I'll be showing that soon.

    I love that name "Barangaroo". I believe that's what I will name my first-born child.

    The cliff is what particularly draws my eye here.

    I like the cliff. Courious to see how the area looks after redevelopment.

    I wonder if the cliff is natural or manmade.

      The cliff was carved out of the sandstone to create space along the shore for the port facilities.

    An amazing tower. Looks more like air traffic control! The carved cliffs are impressive as well.

    As I said to Nick...Is there anything that your beautiful city does not have. I am SO impressed with Sydney and Melbourne. I just wish Australia was not at the other end of the world for us. The Harbour Tower makes me think of the one in Seattle. There are so different, but they both so way up into the air
