A narrow passage runs between the red brick facade of a munitions magazine and a high retaining wall. The view looks down from above. Slate tiles cover the pitched roof, their surface streaked with lichen. Sandstone capping tops the brickwork on both sides. Weeds push through the concrete floor below. Beyond the retaining wall, a grassed earth embankment rises to ground level, bright green under heavy cloud.

The series
Newington Armory
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.
