Matrix Reloaded filmed at White Bay Power Station

Who would have thought? The Matrix Reloaded was filmed at the White Bay Power Station in Rozelle… near where I used to live. Glad someone else apart from me appreciates how cool that gargantuan building is.

Low sun, sodden sky

Don't you love it when this occurs… late in the day when the sun is low, it can illuminate the city skyline brilliantly against a dark sky. These are some great photos that I took when I stepped off the bus on the way home.

When Sydney had trams, too

rozelletram When Sydney had trams, too

My girlfriend Kate, who is a local history buff, found this tram, circa 1951, online at the Leichhardt Council website.

It would have been powered by the White Bay Power Station which is a gigantic derelict building near our house. When we first moved here I couldn't stop looking at it — such a towering, monstrous structure. I've been finding out bits and pieces of history about it ever since.
