Avon Dam was the third and largest of the four dams constructed to collect water from the Illawarra Plateau. Created by damming the Avon River and completed in 1927, Avon Dam’s main role today is to supply water to the Illawarra region.

Galactic Centre

They say the Galactic Centre contains many stars, all revolving around a supermassive black hole, surrounded by interstellar dust and molecular gas. Some stars explode and become supernovae, generating relativistic jets (beams of ionised matter).

Why

I was asking myself this question when I saw this eclectic collection of books and plants on an alley near Reservoir St Surry Hills.

Portal

This feels like a steampunk portal into a different universe or dimension. It is actually a children’s playground, part of the Albert Sloss Reserve.

Wynyard Station

This is the new entrance to Wynyard Station from George St, Sydney, after refurbishment. The building containing this entrance has been renamed Brookfield Place.

Watch for Cyclists

I found this brightly painted car parking entrance with lots of warnings about cyclists. I wonder if this is a response to a prior incident.

This is the Light Rail track running past the historic Royal Exhibition Hotel in Sydney, located next to Prince Alfred Park and Central Station.

Rainbow walk

This is the 90m rainbow path in Prince Alfred Park located next to Equality Green. The path commemorates the November 2017 decision to legalise same-sex marriage in Australia.
