Fan of public transport, walking, and interesting facts. I sometimes post photos I take or thoughts I have on transportation, election science, or other topics.

A large building with a glass façade and a high awning in front of it supported by tall pillars, with the words "Western Sydney International Airport" displayed at the top of the building. The building has a large plaza in front of it with seating, trees, and vegetation.
Looking along a walkway curving to the left, with a wooden floor, a concrete ceiling, a concrete wall on the left, and an open side with a fence on the right, with a view over a river with a tree-covered hill on the side.
Close-up photograph of a passenger information display in a Sydney Metro train, showing a diagram of stations on the line. From left to right, Central, Gadigal, Martin Place, Barangaroo, Victoria Cross, and Crows Nest stations are visible, each with a dot on a line and a label above the line. An arrow icon pointing to the left is between the dots for Barangaroo and Victoria Cross, showing the location of the train and the direction of travel. The dots for Central, Gadigal, and Martin Place are turquoise. The dot for Barangaroo is dark grey with an exclamation mark inside. The dots for Victoria Cross and Crows Nest are light grey.
Photograph of a next-train indicator display at platform 2 at Chatswood station. The destination of the train is shown as "Sydenham via City". Below this, the first 5 of the train's stops are listed: Crows Nest, Victoria Cross, Martin Place, Gadigal, and Central. Normally, Barangaroo would be between Victoria Cross and Martin Place. On the right side of the screen, there is the text "Limited Stops" in a dark grey box; normally this text would say "All Stops".

A wall of rock viewed from across a road. In the top left of the wall there is a large void about a meter deep, with a staircase at the bottom leading up to the left. Below and to the right of this there are bricks filling the space where the lower part of the staircase would have once been. In the top right of the wall there is a diagonal line of concrete that implies that there once would have been a second section of the staircase in front of the first, leading up from left to right.
