A narrow passage runs between thick brick walls. An iron-clad door stands open at the entrance, its surface dark and pitted, studded with heavy rivets. Overhead, concrete lintels span the gap at intervals, open to the sky between them. Green paint clings to a doorframe further down the corridor. An arched opening sits at the far end. Damp has stained the brickwork in uneven patches. The air looks still and close.

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.
