Hopefully back at Delvin Road once more as well - caught this back in April 2024

Obelisk on Hyde Park, Sydney dating from 1857. It is not a memorial but heritage-listed sewer vent designed to mask odors from Sydney's early sanitation system. It didn’t work so well and was nicknamed "Thornton's Scent Bottle" after the then Mayor George Thornton

Is Dale’s Dyke - to the right - there to stop his wine cellar in his house on Charlotte Street being flooded again 😉
