Barangaroo Reserve, Munn's Slipway
This reconstructed foreshore at Nawi Cove, is located at Barangaroo Reserve, in the inner city suburb of Barangaroo. During reconstruction, remnants of a slipway where James Munn developed a shipyard in the late 1820s were found here. As a memorial, Munn's Slipway C.1927 has been carved into the large sandstone blocks.
Very unique, Jim. Nice that it is preserved.
ReplyDeleteGood perspective! Arianna
ReplyDeleteA scenic and unusual idea for preserving a little history.
ReplyDeleteIt's eye catching!
ReplyDeleteThe blocks make a nice gentle slope.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I know the inner city suburb of Barangaroo. But how wonderful to have inner city suburb right on the water's edge!
ReplyDeleteHels, it's one of our newest suburbs sitting alongside Millers Point.
DeleteHels, it seems irony still works.
DeleteI can see myself sitting there with my toes in the water Jim.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great scene. I'd like to be there...
ReplyDeleteThe sandstone makes a lovely natural looking foreshore. Not an area I am familiar with. Your Sydney photos make me really keen to explore more of Sydney. It is a beautiful city, but too much traffic for me.
ReplyDeleteYou can catch a train to Wynyard or a ferry to Darling Harbour. ;)
Deletevery cool!
ReplyDeletewordless, cool.
ReplyDeleteThere are many development projects always underway here in Sydney. We are able to appreciate a wide variety of historical landmarks that have been preserved with a modern touch to stay on par and complement with today’s beautiful architecture. Even the regular high-rise buildings like apartments and self storage facilities are also just as stunning.
