Darling Harbour, 1985. Amazing photograph. I’m really looking forward to the Powerhouse’s 80’s exhibition.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

I love the Powerhouse’s ‘Photo of the Day’I remember the transformation of Darling Harbour and the chaos and general decrepitude of the site when it was the ‘Goods Yard’. I forget how much the city has changed and photos like this link me to the past.
A couple of years after that photo I remember the Navy was in town and had all their boats parked along the foreshore near the old shipping terminal. At the same time Cockle Bay had a number of rides there… they had a rollercoaster and everything! That photo did bring back some memories!
