Bantry Bay & North Head




The Bantry Bay Explosives Magazine Complex is located in Garigal National Park and managed by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. The Complex occupies an area of around 14 hectares on both the eastern and western shores of the bay and consists of numerous buildings, seawalls, tram lines, wharves, slipways, tracks, dams, and other above-surface remains as well as a number of archaeological sites. It is an important but little known part of the cultural, and natural, heritage of Sydney.


More photos from today can be seen at Rust, Relics & Ruins.

Snow at Mount Tomah and Mount Wilson




We don't often get snow this close to home, so we made most of the opportunity.
