Erskineville on the edge - the Zenix apartments



a new day and a closer look at the Metroland Zenix development Erskineville, next to St Peters Park - 224 units completed in 2003 for $80 million.
I think it's an improvement on their 1996 Pyrmont development, which frankly looks like the brightly painted East Berlin buildings situated a street or two east from where Checkpoint Charlie stood - very bland.
Zenix is curiously attractive on a good day.

Wot's on in Woollongong then?

well I'm not there at the moment so I don't know but here's a nice art deco block of flats


image from about 2007 - AH & I hopped on a train down south from Sydney to Woollongong to be groupies at a gig & stayed in a really dodgy motel - not quite hire by the hour but the old used condoms on top of the wardrobe explained a lot.   It really smelt of toxic cleaner that should have been banned in this country (I ended up with a fume induced headache).  
However, next door to the motel was this wonderful building. 
It has since been sold and I am yet to see what happened to it but will do soon.

The only camera I had that day was a Lomo Fisheye - it doesn't have a viewfinder so I am extra pleased with this shot.

Down the road from where I live


A block of old flats one can easily walk straight past but shouldn't - a little deco amidst the stucco
