Observatory Hill pano || Sydney
Observatory Hill is a quiet park right in the middle of the Rocks/Miller Point in Sydney. There was a conjunction of Mars/Jupiter and Venus just after sunset. The conjunction was't visible as you can see the weather didn't cooperate. This pano looking north with the bridge to the right, then Luna Park on the water and the North Sydney business district (where I work) on the hill. The foreground is the counterpoint being the historic Rocks district. The Garrison Church (lower right), also known as Holy Trinity in Millers Point, Sydney was the first military church built in colonial Australia. It continues as an active Anglican church, now in a joint parish with St Philip's Church, part of the Diocese of Sydney. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garrison_Church_(Sydney) To the left is the Sydney Harbour Control Tower. Not a lot of information online but with the creation of the Barangaroo district, it will be pulled down. Some suggestions were to make it a restaurant or bungee jumping site but to no avail. Some call it "The Pill" as it controls all the shipping berths in Sydney Harbour. The tower has been an 87-metre high landmark at Barangaroo since 1974, when it was installed to control berths in the harbour. It was closed in 2011 when vessel control services were moved to Port Botany. The tower will be replaced with a "interpretive historical display" focusing on maritime history and Millers Point www.smh.com.au/nsw/sydney-harbour-control-tower-at-barang...

Unexpected Opening
Seattle's skyline continues to evolve year after year...after year. This image was captured by means of sheer serendipity. I was on my way home from a photo assignment in the suburbs this same evening, and happened to drive through the Mount Baker neighborhood while en route. The violet clouds above and the silhouetted outline of the Olympic Mountains along the horizon created a pocket of open sky with a predominantly orange hue. The contrast was mesmerizing, so I had to stop Sydney (that's my car's name) and capture the moment before it was gone. Probably the most eye-catching item in the image is the brightly illuminated construction of the city's next skyscraper, The Mark, which will serve as both an office tower and luxury hotel. The Mark will be the 5th tallest building in Seattle upon completion later this year. TIA OFFICIAL WEBSITE / VUE ATYPIQUE / TIA TWITTER / TIA OFFICIAL BLOG / TIA INSTAGRAM

Gladesville Bridge (Sydney, Australia)
The Gladesville Bridge, completed in 1964, connects the suburbs of Gladesville, which is located on the northern bank of the Parramatta River, and Drummoyne, which is located on its southern and eastern sides. Europeans first settled in this part of Sydney soon after landfall at Sydney Cove, when Crown grants of thirty-acre lots were made in the vicinity of Gladesville in the 1790s to encourage agricultural pursuits to the area. Two of the first grantees were John Doody and Ann Benson. Gladesville is named for convict John Glade, who arrived to the colony in 1791. Glade prospered soon after his arrival, and by 1802 owned 60 acres in the district (encompassing earlier land grants to Doody and Benson). In 1836, Glade received an additional Crown grant of 50 acres between Glades Bay and Looking Glass Bay (including Gladesville Point). In the late 1830s, a limited number of settlers were attracted to the area by the employment opportunities associated with the establishment of the Tarban Creek Asylum in 1837. The future suburb of Gladesville remained isolated and rural until the middle of the nineteenth century. In 1856, William Whaley Billyard purchased and subdivided the early land grants to Doody, Benson and Glade into large urban building blocks; this subdivision was known as the Gladesville Estate. Billyard promoted land in the Gladesville Estate as suitable for 'gentlemen's residences' and sold blocks on which he had built villas to wealthier settlers of the colony of NSW. Billyard erected a wharf at Gladesville on the Parramatta River to provide better access to Sydney, and therefore to ensure the sale of land from his estate. This wharf was connected to the Great North Road (now Victoria Road) via Wharf Road, which was also built under instruction from Billyard. In 1881, a bridge was built across the Parramatta River between Drummoyne and Huntleys Point (Gladesville), thereby connecting Gladesville to the rest of Sydney. The first Gladesville Bridge was a 'two lane swing span iron bridge' to the south west of the present Gladesville Bridge. The introduction of tram services to the area in the 1880s meant that both Gladesville, and Drummoyne were increasingly populated from this time. Drummoyne lies on the eastern side of the Parramatta River from Gladesville, and was also an agricultural district in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. By 1806, land grants to members of the NSW Corps were cancelled and 1,500 acres of land was granted to surgeon John Harris; this land grant was known as Five Dock Farm and encompassed the future suburbs of Five Dock, Drummoyne, Chiswick and Abbotsford. Harris sold Five Dock Farm in 1836, and the following year the estate was subdivided for sale into 30- and 60-acre lots. In 1853, merchant William Wright purchased land in area, and named the suburb Drummoyne after his family home in Scotland. From the 1860s onwards, local residents agitated for Drummoyne to be connected to Sydney by direct road. By 1882, the Iron Cove bridge between Drummoyne and Rozelle had been completed, which encouraged further subdivision and settlement to the area (as did the Gladesville Bridge to the north). By the 1890s, Drummoyne was being serviced by regular ferry services and a public tram system, encouraging further suburban development. Five Dock and Drummoyne were amalgamated to form the Municipality of Drummoyne in 1902 (the Municipal district of Five Dock, including Drummoyne, had been incorporated in 1871). By the 1950s, traffic along the original (1881) Gladesville Bridge was becoming congested, commuters complaining of long delays in crossing the bridge. Clearly a new bridge was needed to alleviate traffic build up. In 1959, the Department of Main Roads (DMR) let the contract to build a 'six-lane high level concrete arch bridge over the Parramatta River' to the partnership of Reed & Mallik Ltd (Engineers, Salisbury, England) and Stuart Bros (Builders, Sydney, Australia). The new Gladesville Bridge was built to a design by the engineering firm of Messrs. G Maunsell & Partners (London, England). The Gladesville Bridge, described as one of the 'most spectacular of replacement bridges built in the Sydney', was officially opened on 2 October 1964 by Her Royal Highness Princess Marina of Kent and the Hon P D Hills MLA, Deputy Premier, Minister for Local Government and Minister for Highways. The bridge was opened to traffic on 24 October 1964. At the time of its construction, the Gladesville Bridge was the longest reinforced concrete arch span in the world. The new Gladesville Bridge was constructed as part of a program of works undertaken by the DMR in the 1960s to provide a series of freeway systems out of Sydney. The new bridge was to form part of a proposed North Western Freeway leading from Newcastle to the centre of Sydney via the inner city suburbs of Glebe and Annandale. It was one of three projected freeways leading out of the city. The North Western freeway was intended to replace the Five Bridges route (which also included Pyrmont Bridge, Glebe Island Bridge, Iron Cove Bridge and Fig Tree Bridge). By the early 1970s, protests about the route of the proposed freeway through some of Sydney's inner city suburbs (such as Glebe and Annandale) meant that the DMR's plan was never realised. Gladesville Bridge was one of three bridges constructed along this proposed route; the other bridges were the Tarban Creek and Fig Tree Bridges, and as such are vestiges of the DMR's unrealised plans. The DMR regularly inspected the bridge from the time of its completion (1964), until at least the early 1970s. DMR records indicate that divers inspected parts of the bridge exposed to water (namely the submerged abutments and thrust blocks) every 6 months from December 1965, to check for spalling in the reinforced concrete and for marine growth. It is unclear whether these inspections continue to be carried out, however, oral history testimony from engineers involved with its construction suggest that the bridge has not been rigorously maintained in recent times, with complaints about condition of the concrete (discolouration and spalling). The roadway of Gladesville Bridge was widened in the 1970s, in order to allow for greater traffic flow over the bridge, and along the heavily trafficked route of Victoria Road. The roadway of the bridge was increased from six lanes to eight, taking in some of the width of pedestrian walkways on either side. At the time of inspection in August 2004, the Gladesville Bridge was in sound structural condition. Source: New South Wales Heritage Register.

Hawkesbury sandstone
Hawkesbury sandstone at Freshwater Beach. The fern is the Japanese Holly Fern (Cyrtomium falcatum), a weed which populates most of the seaside areas of Sydney. The beach is the first beach north of the more famous beach at Manly. The sandstone is a relic from the triassic. Sedimentary deposits which originated in the western districts of New South Wales, from around the Broken Hill area. The river delta was a huge area, similar to the Nile and Ganges deltas of today. At the time, this entire area was close to the south pole. So say the scientists with the theory of continental drift. The rock is mostly quartz with varying degrees of iron, giving the colours of yellow, orange and red. Wind weathering produces interesting patterns. The rock breaks down to create a most infertile soil. This sandstone is the most often seen rock type in the Sydney area.

Sunset from Observatory Hill || Sydney {Explore 67, 2015/09/09}
A quiet park right in the middle of the Rocks/Miller Point in Sydney. There was a conjunction of Mars/Jupiter and Venus just after sunset. The strange tower on the right was to be a foreground counterpart to the conjunction but as you can see the weather didn't cooperate with the clouds covering it all. To the right is the Sydney Harbour Control Tower. Not a lot of information online but with the creation of the Barangaroo district, it will be pulled down. Some suggestions were to make it a restaurant or bungee jumping site but to no avail. Some call it "The Pill" as it controls all the shipping berths in Sydney Harbour.

Koala Park
West Pennant Hills - a suburb in the Hills District of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is sad to hear bad news about the park. When we visited in 2013 it was well kept. We did not see any neglect of animals. "The Koala Park Sanctuary was built in the 1920s and opened in October 1930 by the owner Noel Burnet. He established the sanctuary because he was concerned at the large number of koalas being killed for the fur trade, and hunting of the animal would ultimately lead to its extinction. He spent the remainder of his life dedicated to researching and preserving the animals habitat." The park has 10 acres and 24 animal species. In 2010 the park owners were accused of for neglect and abuse of animal's. A court hearing due on February 2, 2016 will determine the fate of the business and the animals it keeps. (Wikipedia)

Harrow. Historic village on the Glenelg River. Old weatherboard cottage with brick chimneys. From the 1860s.
Harrow. Explorer Major Thomas Mitchell and his party crossed the Glenelg River at the site of this town on 31st July 1836. The town has two memorials to him – a small pathetic one in the town and an impressive stone one about 3 kms outside of the town. The town emerged at a good crossing point on the Glenelg River and the district was originally known as Upper Glenelg. The pastoral lease estates were generally taken up in the early to mid-1840s and a bush inn was established here in the 1840s.The oldest pastoral lease property was Koot Norien taken out in 1840. Mail could be sent to residents there by 1849 but the town itself was not surveyed until 1852 one year after Apsley near Naracoorte had been surveyed. So Harrow is the second old town in the Western Districts of Victoria. The town was named after Harrow in England and a police outpost was established here in 1853. The town grew very slowly but the prosperous large pastoral estates were well established including heritage listed structures on properties:- such as the Clunie woolshed, Pine Hills homestead 1858, Kout Norien homestead 1855 and Kout Norien woolshed 1848. Mullagh Station was established in 1844 by Patrick Riley and Thomas Barrett and as was usual for the times Aboriginal workers on the station adopted the name Mullagh including one who served in the famous all Aboriginal cricket team that went to England to play the English in 1868 – Johnny Mullagh. There is a memorial to him in the town and the town museum focusses on him and that amazing first overseas Australian sporting event some 14 years before the first Ashes matches in England. It is the Harrow Discovery Centre and the Johnny Mullagh Interpretive Centre. Much of the history of Harrow can be seen in the buildings. On the way into the town is Gardner Park with remains of a thick stone stable wall built in the 1850s for Cobb and Co coaches. Above it is the charming wooden Kalan Cottage built much later in 1876 and only relocated to Gardner Park in recent years. Next to the wall is a rare surviving example of a 14 log high lockup or jail erected in the town around 1859. The first police presence in Harrow began in 1853. The lockup used locally available materials. Next to the park is the former Presbyterian Church built in red bricks in 1869. It is now the Uniting Church. It replaced an earlier 1860 built church on this spot then. Further along is the quite modern Anglican Church. All these major buildings were built up the hill and away from possible flooding of the Glenelg River. It was only built in 1933 and is just 87 years old. At the foot of the church a disused street has been used to display the local sense of humour with Harrow Bone Yard. It is not a real cemetery despite the headstones! In amongst the historic cottages in the main street is the Hermitage hotel on the right and the former Commercial Banking Company of Sydney on the left. It was built around 1880. The old pub on the right was built either in 1848 or 1854. It was renovated in the 1890s! Opposite it is the modern Discovery and Interpretive Centre. Right next door to that is the former Road Construction Authority Offices built in fine local stone in 1868. It later became the Kowree Shire Council Offices building (1872 to 1887) and is now the home of the local historical society. Further along the street on the left is the old wooden Post Office built in 1885 but the first postal services to Harrow began in 1849. Next to it on the left is the old wooden Courthouse built in 1877. It is now the RSL Club rooms. Thus you can see that despite being surveyed in 1852 most development of Harrow occurred after 1868. Further along the main street past some quaint and charming cottages is Kolmar House built as a general store and food store in 1881 for Rosenthal brothers. From this point onwards the cottages thin out but then some magnificent post and rail fencing along the edge of the town oval begins. At the end of the oval is the modern memorial to Johnny Mullagh in the Johnny Mullagh Memorial Park and across the river from this spot is the Catholic Church built around 1900. Town dwellers obviously crossed the Glenelg River to reach it as the route by road is a couple of kilometres long. Despite the wealthy pastoral and grazing properties around the town is has always been a small service centre. It once had a flourmill and a saddler etc but it has seldom had more than 300 people living in it.

The town grew very slowly but the prosperous large pastoral estates were well established including heritage listed structures on properties:- such as the Clunie woolshed, Pine Hills homestead 1858, Kout Norien homestead 1855 and Kout Norien woolshed 1848. Mullagh Station was established in 1844 by Patrick Riley and Thomas Barrett and as was usual for the times Aboriginal workers on the station adopted the name Mullagh including one who served in the famous all Aboriginal cricket team that went to England to play the English in 1868 – Johnny Mullagh. There is a memorial to him in the town and the town museum focusses on him and that amazing first overseas Australian sporting event some 14 years before the first Ashes matches in England. It is the Harrow Discovery Centre and the Johnny Mullagh Interpretive Centre. Much of the history of Harrow can be seen in the buildings. On the way into the town is Gardner Park with remains of a thick stone stable wall built in the 1850s for Cobb and Co coaches. Above it is the charming wooden Kalan Cottage built much later in 1876 and only relocated to Gardner Park in recent years. Next to the wall is a rare surviving example of a 14 log high lockup or jail erected in the town around 1859. The first police presence in Harrow began in 1853. The lockup used locally available materials. Next to the park is the former Presbyterian Church built in red bricks in 1869. It is now the Uniting Church. It replaced an earlier 1860 built church on this spot then. Further along is the quite modern Anglican Church. All these major buildings were built up the hill and away from possible flooding of the Glenelg River. It was only built in 1933 and is just 87 years old. At the foot of the church a disused street has been used to display the local sense of humour with Harrow Bone Yard. It is not a real cemetery despite the headstones! In amongst the historic cottages in the main street is the Hermitage hotel on the right and the former Commercial Banking Company of Sydney on the left. It was built around 1880. The old pub on the right was built either in 1848 or 1854. It was renovated in the 1890s! Opposite it is the modern Discovery and Interpretive Centre. Right next door to that is the former Road Construction Authority Offices built in fine local stone in 1868. It later became the Kowree Shire Council Offices building (1872 to 1887) and is now the home of the local historical society. Further along the street on the left is the old wooden Post Office built in 1885 but the first postal services to Harrow began in 1849. Next to it on the left is the old wooden Courthouse built in 1877. It is now the RSL Club rooms. Thus you can see that despite being surveyed in 1852 most development of Harrow occurred after 1868. Further along the main street past some quaint and charming cottages is Kolmar House built as a general store and food store in 1881 for Rosenthal brothers. From this point onwards the cottages thin out but then some magnificent post and rail fencing along the edge of the town oval begins. At the end of the oval is the modern memorial to Johnny Mullagh in the Johnny Mullagh Memorial Park and across the river from this spot is the Catholic Church built around 1900. Town dwellers obviously crossed the Glenelg River to reach it as the route by road is a couple of kilometres long. Despite the wealthy pastoral and grazing properties around the town is has always been a small service centre. It once had a flourmill and a saddler etc but it has seldom had more than 300 people living in it.

The pastoral lease estates were generally taken up in the early to mid-1840s and a bush inn was established here in the 1840s.The oldest pastoral lease property was Koot Norien taken out in 1840. Mail could be sent to residents there by 1849 but the town itself was not surveyed until 1852 one year after Apsley near Naracoorte had been surveyed. So Harrow is the second old town in the Western Districts of Victoria. The town was named after Harrow in England and a police outpost was established here in 1853. The town grew very slowly but the prosperous large pastoral estates were well established including heritage listed structures on properties:- such as the Clunie woolshed, Pine Hills homestead 1858, Kout Norien homestead 1855 and Kout Norien woolshed 1848. Mullagh Station was established in 1844 by Patrick Riley and Thomas Barrett and as was usual for the times Aboriginal workers on the station adopted the name Mullagh including one who served in the famous all Aboriginal cricket team that went to England to play the English in 1868 – Johnny Mullagh. There is a memorial to him in the town and the town museum focusses on him and that amazing first overseas Australian sporting event some 14 years before the first Ashes matches in England. It is the Harrow Discovery Centre and the Johnny Mullagh Interpretive Centre. Much of the history of Harrow can be seen in the buildings. On the way into the town is Gardner Park with remains of a thick stone stable wall built in the 1850s for Cobb and Co coaches. Above it is the charming wooden Kalan Cottage built much later in 1876 and only relocated to Gardner Park in recent years. Next to the wall is a rare surviving example of a 14 log high lockup or jail erected in the town around 1859. The first police presence in Harrow began in 1853. The lockup used locally available materials. Next to the park is the former Presbyterian Church built in red bricks in 1869. It is now the Uniting Church. It replaced an earlier 1860 built church on this spot then. Further along is the quite modern Anglican Church. All these major buildings were built up the hill and away from possible flooding of the Glenelg River. It was only built in 1933 and is just 87 years old. At the foot of the church a disused street has been used to display the local sense of humour with Harrow Bone Yard. It is not a real cemetery despite the headstones! In amongst the historic cottages in the main street is the Hermitage hotel on the right and the former Commercial Banking Company of Sydney on the left. It was built around 1880. The old pub on the right was built either in 1848 or 1854. It was renovated in the 1890s! Opposite it is the modern Discovery and Interpretive Centre. Right next door to that is the former Road Construction Authority Offices built in fine local stone in 1868. It later became the Kowree Shire Council Offices building (1872 to 1887) and is now the home of the local historical society. Further along the street on the left is the old wooden Post Office built in 1885 but the first postal services to Harrow began in 1849. Next to it on the left is the old wooden Courthouse built in 1877. It is now the RSL Club rooms. Thus you can see that despite being surveyed in 1852 most development of Harrow occurred after 1868. Further along the main street past some quaint and charming cottages is Kolmar House built as a general store and food store in 1881 for Rosenthal brothers. From this point onwards the cottages thin out but then some magnificent post and rail fencing along the edge of the town oval begins. At the end of the oval is the modern memorial to Johnny Mullagh in the Johnny Mullagh Memorial Park and across the river from this spot is the Catholic Church built around 1900. Town dwellers obviously crossed the Glenelg River to reach it as the route by road is a couple of kilometres long. Despite the wealthy pastoral and grazing properties around the town is has always been a small service centre. It once had a flourmill and a saddler etc but it has seldom had more than 300 people living in it.

Tumut. The now disused railway station. The branch line from Gundagai reached the town in 1903.
Tumut. The town nestles along the Tumut River, a tributary of the Murrumbidgee which it joins in Gundagai. It begins about 40 kms from Mt Kosciusko in Kosciusko National Park and it has three dam/reservoirs along it as part of the Snowy Mountains Scheme hydroelectric power generation system. Tumut has over 800 mm of rain yearly. Hamilton Hume discovered the Tumut River in 1824 and the first white squatter Benjamin Warby arrived in 1828 at Darbalara although he and the ones who followed him only became licensed leaseholders from 1839. They included George and William Shelley of Been (Tumut Plains) station. Shelley senior was a missionary and they are credited with making sure there were no Aboriginal deaths or massacres near Tumut. More settles arrived in the 1840s when land leasing was legal. A courthouse was established in 1845. The town was laid out in 1848 and a police constable was appointed. But by 1856 few buildings were more than mere slab huts. The first Post Office in 1849 operated from the Courthouse. Like Gundagai the original town site moved up the hill after the 1852 Tumut River floods. In 1860 thousands passed through the small town on their way to the goldfields at Kiandra (1859) in the Snowy Mountains and later to Adelong on the plains. Tumut emerged as a solid town. With gold came bushrangers and Ned Kelly’s brother operated in this district in the 1870s. By 1866 there were eleven hotels in the town and the town population was around 400; in 1887 Tumut became a municipality; and in 1903 the branch railway line from Gundagai reached the town. Dairying and forestry became major district industries in the 20th century and the Tumut River became a major site for hydroelectric power. Blowering Dam was built just above the town with Tumut 1, 2 and 3 power stations on the Tumut River. In autumn the Lombardy Poplars along the Tumut River display great colour. They were planted in 1861. More autumn colour can be found in the Avenue of Elms which leads to the racecourse, thus it is not surprising that Tumut established the Festival of the Falling Leaf in the 1950s. Tumut was one of the many sites considered for the National Capital by a Royal Commission but Canberra was finally selected for that. Tumut was selected by the House of Representatives in 1904 but then replaced by Bombala and then the Senate replaced it with Dalgety. But the NSW parliament refused to cede land around Dalgety so four years later after much politicking a site near Yass was finally approved. All places considered had to have good flat land, a good water supply and be further than 100 miles from Sydney.

Harrow. Across the Glenelg River from the oval and the rest of the town is the weatherboard Catholic Church. Built in 1876 and moved across the river around 1900. Open by 1903. In Glenferrie street. The presbytery next to it was built in 1922.

A Changed Landscape || HAT HILL || BLACKHEATH
Facebook: www.facebook.com/rhyspopephotography Twitter: twitter.com/#!/rhyspope This shot taken a few days after the fires had moved through the area in Blackheath in October. Blackheath is an Australian suburb located near the highest point of the Blue Mountains, between Katoomba and Mount Victoria in New South Wales. The town has an approximate altitude of 1,065 metres (3,494 ft) AHD and is located approximately 120 kilometres (75 mi) west north-west of the Sydney central business district, 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) north-west of Katoomba and approximately 30 kilometres (19 mi) south-east of Lithgow. At the 2011 Census, Blackheath had a population of 4,353 people. The area around Blackheath contains some of the most spectacular views in the Blue Mountains, including those over the Grose Valley from Evans Lookout and Govetts Leap in the east, and the lesser-known vista of the Megalong Valley from Hargraves Lookout in the west, past the tiny hamlet of Shipley.

Great service and very professional. Replaced my hot water from an indoor to outdoor unit and upgraded relevant gas and water pipes. Great attention to details too even though the job was quite big. For example sanding off the copper pipe after cutting it before installation. Price is fair and you get discount for multiple jobs. Highly recommend them.

I highly recommend Silverwater Plumbing services to everyone, they are friendly and experienced. Our toilet which is attached to the wall had been blocked for a while, we are happy that it is in use again. These guys detached it and resealed it all perfectly. We were offered the best quote and the best service ! Thank you for the 5 star service

He was polite, professional and went as far as explaining to me in layman's term what the issue was. Very well informed with his work and problem was fixed in no time. Thank you Solomon!!

We needed a new hot water system, a new toilet, a new gas fitting and repair of some taps. The boys from Silverwater Plumbing were great. They arrived on time, quoted everything up front and the quality of the work was excellent. I will use these guys for all of our plumbing needs in the future. Thank you.

Great service, very professional and efficient. They break down the costs of the service before carrying out any work so you know exactly what everything’s priced at. Highly recommended plumbing service. Would use again.

My family discovered that we had a water leak after our water bill doubled. I searched online for a reputable local plumber and decided to go with Silverwater Plumbing after reading positive reviews on Product Review and Google. And I was not disappointed. Silver Plumbing were punctual and came with a smile. After explaining our problem, they went straight to the task and did what they needed to do. They were professional, friendly and easy to communicate with. They identified the leak and explained what they were going to do. They were confident and experienced. In terms of their pricing, it appears to be reasonable. I cannot comment on how competitive their pricing were as I did not obtain quotes from other plumbers. But for the service they provided, I would definitely consider using these guys again for future plumbing needs.
