Arncliffe, houses

"Gladstone and Wentworth" are located along Forest Road, in the southern suburb of Arncliffe. These heritage listed semi detached terrace houses were built in 1886 in the Victorian architectural style. These terraces have been repainted in recent years using a different colour scheme but I prefer this former colour scheme.

Marrickville, mural

This mural is located on the wall of a former industrial building on the corner of Railway Parade and Marrickville Road, in the inner west suburb of Marrickville. It is now an entertainment venue which is home to the Camelot Lounge and Django Bar which host live music performances and functions. The mural was created by Hugues Sineux in 2015 as a homage to dance halls and music venues. It is inspired by the film Le Bal and draws on the cubist work of Sonia Delaunay to create a merry ballroom scene in full swing, attended by an eclectic bunch of characters drawn in stylised forms.

Darling Harbour, Pumphouse

Pumphouse is a pub located along Little Pier Street at Darling Harbour. It was originally designed and built as Hydraulic Pumping Station No.1 in 1891 in the Italianate Baroque architectural style for the Sydney and Suburban Hydraulic Power Company. Water was pumped from Sydney's water supply and stored in a large water tank (which can still be seen in the historic bar). The water was then pumped across the city to various buildings which utilised the water under pressure as a source of power. In 1975 it was restored to become the Pumphouse Brewery and Tavern, selling boutique, craft and house brew beers.

The Rocks, First Fleet Park, map (Theme Day: Look Down)

This giant map of Sydney Cove, now Circular Quay, which doubles as a bench is located in First Fleet Park. This view is looking down from the walkway beside the Cahill Expressway, above Circular Quay railway station as a jogger jogs past. The park is near the site of the landing of the First Fleet in 1788, so has a strong historical association with the first European settlement in Australia and the subsequent development of the colony. The map was installed when the park was redeveloped for the bicentennary and shows Sydney Cove in 1808 and compares it to Circular Quay in 1988.
