A favourite place name for Sydneysiders, Australians generally, but certainly for foreigners is Woolloomooloo.
I’m here early, it’s still and cool, with a clear sky and a slight hint of dawn blue.
And another favourite is the Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf.

No reason why public housing shouldn’t be of good design, set in a generous landscape setting.
Purcell in Redfern is a 1960’s #sydneyapartmentbuilding, with predominately studio apartments, part of the estate that followed extensive ’slum’ clearance by then NSW Housing Commission.
