I didn't mention your Watsons Bay bandstand because it didn't have all the gorgeous wrought iron lacework of the 1890-1914 era. Do you know if this bandstand was originally more decorated?Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34645388.post-54773928822540906362014-09-09T09:13:06.662+10:002014-09-09T09:13:06.662+10:00I miss seeing all the bandstands that were in so m...I miss seeing all the bandstands that were in so many parks!!
