A triangular rail crossing sign stands on a galvanised steel post. Red border, white face, black locomotive silhouette. Below it, a smaller square plate reads WATCH FOR TRAINS. Rust bleeds from the mounting bolts. Behind the sign, a red brick building rises with sandstone trim and green-painted doors set into arched openings. Grass grows thick and bright over the embankment. No tracks are visible from here.

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.
