St James’ Church, Sydney, NSW, Australia
Consecrated in 1824, as part of the major construction programme initiated by Governor Lachlan Macquarie, St James’ Church is now the oldest existing church building in the City of Sydney. It has been the venue for many historic events including the enthronement of the first, and only, Bishop of Australia, William Grant Broughton (for whom the church became his cathedral). Through history, St James has been a place of ministry to a diversity of people ranging from the Governor, military personnel and convicts at its beginnings to the great array of people who work and live in the city today and those who come from the wider metropolitan area for Sunday worship.

Palimpsest Signage, Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney, NSW, Australia

Follow My Photos on Pixelfed: https://pixelfed.social/p/douglaswelch/969299126413281032In textual studies, a palimpsest (/ˈpælɪmpsɛst/) is a manuscript page, either from a scroll or a book, from which the text has been scraped or washed off in preparation for reuse[1] in the form of another document.[2] Parchment was made of lamb, calf, or goat skin and was expensive and not readily available, so, in the interest of economy, a page was often re-used by scraping off the previous writing. In colloquial usage, the term palimpsest is also used in architecture, archaeology and geomorphology to denote an object made or worked upon for one purpose and later reused for another; for example, a monumental brass on which the blank reverse side has been re-engraved.[3 — Wikipedia

The Mint, Sydney, NSW, Australia
Formerly the ‘Rum Hospital’ – oldest surviving public building in Sydney’s CBD
Built for a cost of 45,000 gallons of rum, The Mint is rich in history. It was originally part of Governor Macquarie’s ‘Rum’ hospital for convicts and later became the first branch of the Royal Mint outside London.

#SydneyNSW - #HouseholdChemical Clean Out
"We're hosting a Household Chemical CleanOut on Saturday 18 April 2026 from 9am to 3:30pm at Alexandra Canal Depot, 67C Bourke Road, Alexandria NSW 2015. Everyone is welcome, even if you don't live in our area.
"To find other drop-off locations and dates, visit the Household Chemical CleanOut website or call the NSW environment line on 131 555.
Transport your items carefully
- Bring your items in the boot and seal them tight. Don’t mix anything and if you don’t know the contents, just label the item as ‘unknown chemical’.
- You must stay in your vehicle at the drop-off site – an attendant will come to you. People walking or riding can access a separate drop-off area.If you’re a building manager or have a lot of chemicals contact us to discuss quantities for drop-off.
After you finish
Many chemicals are recycled while others are treated for safe disposal. For example:
- Leftover #paint is mixed with other solvents and used in cement manufacturing. The metal paint tins are recycled.
- Any remaining gas is taken out of gas cylinders and the steel in the bottle is recycled. Many bottles are returned to the hire market – so they’re reused rather than recycled.
- Lead, acid and plastic in #batteries are recovered and recycled.
- #Fluoro tubes, which contain mercury, are crushed to separate the phosphor powder from the glass. This powder is processed to capture any mercury, which is then sold for a range of industrial uses. The leftover glass and metal are put back into the recycling system."FMI:

A #PolarVortex and a red-hot blob: Why #SydneyAustralia just copped a month’s worth of rain
Story by Angus Dalton, September 10, 2025
"Severe storms have unleashed tornadoes and hail across parts of NSW and dumped more than a month’s worth of rain in one day on #Sydney in a deluge that trapped commuters and sparked flood rescues in the city.
"The massive rainfall event during what is usually NSW’s driest month was summoned by a low-pressure system fed by an abnormally warm Tasman Sea, which has stewed at temperatures 2 degrees above average for months.
"The polar vortex spiralling over #Antarctica is also rapidly weakening, an atmospheric factor that can send more rain-bearing low-pressure systems and cold fronts charging over Australia, according to forecaster Weatherzone.
"The intense low-pressure system off NSW sent 90km/h winds barrelling for the coast on Wednesday and into the early hours of Thursday, causing flash floods that trapped three bushwalkers in Wattamolla and flooded parts of the city on Wednesday night.
"Sydney copped more than 122 millimetres of rain between 9am on Wednesday and 6am on Thursday, smashing the monthly average of 68.1 millimetres expected at Observatory Hill. That’s Sydney’s wettest September day in 146 years."

Former #Greens candidate may lose sight after being arrested in #SydneyAustralia #protest at alleged #Israel technology supplier
Hannah Thomas, who ran against Anthony Albanese in the Sydney electorate of Grayndler, sustained facial injuries
Henry Belot, Fri 27 Jun 2025
"A former Greens candidate has been injured after allegedly resisting police arrest while picketing a business in Sydney’s west, with friends and family warned she may lose sight in her right eye.
"The protest, which attracted between 50 and 60 people, sought to stop pedestrian access to a business that was accused by protesters of 'supplying electroplating and surface coating services for a variety of applications including aerospace and defence technology' to Israel.
"The #Greens alleged the company was reportedly 'involved in providing plating services for various parts used in #F35 jets' used by the #IsraeliMilitary.
"According to police, officers issued a move-on direction to the protesters at about 5.30am on Friday.
"The force alleged the protest was 'unauthorised', as those involved had not given advanced notice nor submitted a #form that protected them from being charged under #AntiProtestLaws."
