Ballast Point Park

Today I visited Ballast Point Park, a redeveloped industrial site which previously belonged to the large Australian oil company, Caltex.  The park not only boasts amazing views of the harbour and of the city, but includes a great design in which the old materials from the Caltex site have been incorporated.

More information on Ballast Point can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballast_Point_(New_South_Wales)

Sorry that we don't appear in any pictures, we will do as soon as Bruce stops working weekends!

Here is a location map:
