Looking up. Smell the serenity. These late constructivist sewer vent towers were located some 60 years ago along the Southern Sydney Ocean Outfall Line (@sydneywater c.1960-1?) all the way through Toongabbie Creek to Parramatta and to Malabar... - many of the remnant Forest Red Gum, Cabbage Gum and Swamp Oak (and Blue gum downstream) that survived colonization and farming are still holding on - except for this one - that lost its top, and suffered dieback (probably bark damage and root disturbance) eventually. It’s tall stag remains as #hollowsforhabitat. - We have replanted 300 canopy and mid-strata trees near here with @greatersydneylandcarenetwork recently on this #thegreatwestwalk, as part of the #creatingcanopies #nswgovtproject from @robstokesmp, and #smallbirdhabitat #understory #regeneration with federal #communityenvironmentprogram from @julie.owens.mp #Parramatta. - #ventstack #rollediron #irontower #constructivist #conical #treestag #treestagram #blackabdwhite #bnw #monochrome #oldtoongabbie #suesavage (at Reynolds Park Old Toongabbie) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKYheb5BM5q/?igshid=l5djz35a3ylm
