Photos - Secrets - Streets (continued)


Potts Point

Negotiate this entrance to a garage at the Hughes Place rear of Wayside Chapel, Potts Point, and you’ll never complain about your driveway again.


Queens Park

This is where Bourke Lane intersects with Bourke Lane. Yes, Bourke Lane (east to west) intersects with another Bourke Lane going north to south. If that’s not enough for you, there’s yet another, third, Bourke Lane, parallel to and just 70 metres from the north-south Bourke Lane. Still not satisfied? Then Bourke Street is only another 70 metres away. Who would be a postie in Queens Park?


Tregear

The old road into Tregear Reserve heads off into the distance for half a kilometre, so I know that it must be taking me to something significant.

Of course, I could be wrong.


Turrella

The sign reads: "Martin St Turrella. A forgotten street. It existed before the East Hills rail line. Rockdale Municipal Council and local residents remember and preserve it."


Wakeley

Perhaps uniquely, three streets run parallel with only narrow grass strips separating them: Leicester Street (foreground), Canley Vale Road (middle) and Beckhaus Street (rear). The first of the three-pronged attack, Leicester Street, is in Wakeley; Beckhaus Street is in St Johns Park; Canley Vale Road can’t make up its mind.


Waverley

In an unnamed lane off O’Dowd Street, Waverley, is a relic of decades ago. In the era before computer games, young children played hopscotch on squares chalked on the pavement. This one has survived because it was painted.


Woollahra

Adelaide Parade, Woollahra, from start to finish, doesn’t seem to have a high priority need for traffic lights or roundabouts.


Woollahra

The paling fence across the entrance to The Grove, Woollahra, a no-cars street with nine cottages, ensures that The Grove (see below) remains the best of secrets.
