Inside a magazine building at Newington Armory, stark concrete walls and floor define the space. Signs of its past use linger within the quiet, cavernous interior, now empty.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A barrel-vaulted ceiling of whitewashed brick curves over rows of military ordnance crates stacked deep on both sides. Olive green and dark brown cases line the magazine floor, some stencilled with markings, one labelled EMPTY in red. A timber-decked rail trolley sits on narrow gauge tracks that run the full length of the centre aisle. Fluorescent tubes throw flat light against the curved walls. The air inside feels still and cool.

The series

Newington Armory

2019 · 21 photographs

The Newington Armory operated as a Royal Australian Navy munitions depot from 1897 until decommissioning in 1999. Sandstone and brick magazines line the Parramatta River foreshore, their walls a metre thick in places, engineered to contain the force of an accidental detonation. The site now sits within Sydney Olympic Park, its original stores largely intact, paint peeling from heavy timber doors, river light filtering through narrow vents cut into stone.
