Walkway palms and an abandoned machine sitting

and an abandoned machine sitting in the passage beyond

Dust-covered tables and chairs remain in the restaurant of the former Balmain Leagues Club

with paint chips and debris across the floor and light falling through a line of open doorways

The powerhouse at Portland Cement Works runs its full length in a single unbroken span

A window at the far end of Female Ward 9 casts a hard backlight through the room

Walkway palms and an abandoned machine sittingTimber planks cut a line through encroaching scrub at Waratah Park Earth Sanctuary in Duffys Forest, the walkway disappearing into bushland that once served as backdrop for Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. The park operated as a public wildlife venue from January 1970 until 2006, built on the same Crown land where Fauna Productions filmed 91 episodes between 1967 and 1969. Part of the Waratah Park series.
