Eveleigh, electricity cable tunnel

This modern sculpture surrounds the access to an electricity cable tunnel on the Vice Chancellor's Oval at Australian Technology Park, in the inner city suburb of Eveleigh. The Australian Technology Park opened in 1996 as a home to a community of researchers, entrepreneurs, incubator businesses, start-ups, mature technology companies and education organisations. It utilises the heritage buildings of the old Eveleigh Railway Yards along with contemporary buildings.

Tempe, warehouse

This warehouse building on the Princes Highway at Tempe was last used as the headquarters for Ateco, an automotive equipment wholesaler. After being renovated, it has been sitting vacant for the last few years but there are plans to redevelop the 10 hectare commercial site behind this building into a massive IKEA store that will also house the Swedish company's Australian headquarters. I was glad to hear that there are plans to retain this warehouse, office block and clock tower as part of the new development.

Tempe, sports centre

The Robyn Webster Sports Centre, located in Tempe Reserve, in the inner west suburb of Tempe, features outdoor netball courts and indoor netball, volleyball and soccer courts. The Aboriginal mural painted on the outside of the building is called 'Gift Given' and was created by Bronwyn Bancroft. It features fish, lizards, snakes, men and women in diamond formations. It is the largest mural in the Southern hemisphere and the detailed walls and roof are a landmark for planes landing at nearby Sydney Airport. I chose to feature this Aboriginal artwork today because this week in Australia is NAIDOC week, which is a time to celebrate the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and recognise the contributions of Indigenous Australians.
