Under The Bridge...
Feb. 19th, 2021 02:16 pmAn early start this morning, for a job interview out in Sydney's western suburbs. Fortunately, if I get it, I'm not expected to go to the office very much & given it was a one-hour drive in off-peak traffic (just!!), that's a good thing. So is the salary, package & role itself...
On the way back home L-SP & I stopped at a little piece of Sydney history I found by happenstance a couple of months ago. Boothtown (or Greystanes) Aqueduct - a 19th Century aqueduct that formed part of the first major water supply plan for the growing city. Superseded by an underground pipeline in the 1920s, it survived calls for demolition & now forms part of a walk/cycleway from Prospect Reservoir along the water pipeline 'green' corridor. European in design, it's a bit strange to see it in suburban Sydney, partially obscured by bushland & some houses built nearby in the 1960s, but visible from a nearby major road - if you're not looking at the road... like I wasn't
Anyway, I told L-SP about it & promised to take her out there if we were ever near the area & today was the day. Here are some phone shots... the camera ones may come later
