SO this week I am posting rusty thingies I found during my wanderings around Cockatoo Island....there are many...dwindling it to 7 images will be a challenge!
The largest island in Sydney Harbour, Cockatoo Island has a long and complex history, including use as an Indigenous fishing base, a penal establishment, a reform school and shipbuilding yards. Extensive quarrying and reclamation has expanded the island from 12.9 to 17.9 hectares and it now includes “constructed cliffs, stone walls and steps, docks, cranes, slipways and built forms”. The island provides a rich and dense accretion of buildings and structures that evoke a complex and layered history.

according to Richard it would appear to be a (disused) high pressure steam distribution line. Thanks Richard!
