In December 2008, I posted the photo below. It was taken from the Australian Museum across the road from Cook + Philip Park. I have since been thinking about the site and how much I used to enjoy walking past it when it was a lawn bowling club. It is still used for recreatin, being re-developed as an underground fitness and aquatic centre. It is in a state of disrepair on top at the moment (since my Dec photo). The photos above are from the State Library photo collection.

St. Mary's in the sun--it warms my heart!
Interesting, the old views.
How did you get the use of the photos or were they on a website? Interesting changes, right?! The church is really quite magnificient!
Nice collage Sally. Well done too.
Great photo of St. Mary's. It's a beautiful Cathedral. Loved the crypt, lots of interesting artefacts down there. Do the they still charge people if they want to take photos?
I have fond memories of the bowling greens too. The new development looks great when the fountains are operating but a bit cold at other times.
Sydney - City and Suburbs
Such a shame. I liked the old bowling green. Not a fan of the new development.
I remember where the church is! I took many many photos of it before! :-)
