Downstairs sheds Turbine at Lake Macquarie

Turbine at Lake Macquarie

A single work boot sits on a dusty timber floor

near Braidwood

connecting the shore to tankers carrying bulk chemicals and fuels

their surfaces carrying more than a century of weathering since the site's 1897 establishment

Downstairs sheds Turbine at Lake MacquarieGraffiti reading "T: 15" marks the light blue render at the foot of a concrete staircase inside the Marina Picture Palace on Gardeners Road, Rosebery. Ornate damask wallpaper peels from the upper walls in long curling sheets, a single black cable trailing down the landing past scattered debris. Opened in 1927 to de Putron's Inter War free classical design, the building is the last surviving pre war cinema in the former Botany Bay district.
