Homebush Bay brickpit ring walk

This pond was originally a brickpit that was originally going to be redeveloped as a tennis complex, as part of Olympic Park for the Sydney 2000 Olympics. During construction, the endangered Green and Golden Bell Frog was discovered living here, so the development was moved and the habitat was protected. The Brickpit Ring Walk was built to allow visitors to view the habitat from above.  I featured this walkway here a couple of months back. On a return visit there were some great clouds above which were reflected in the pond below, so it was worth photographing again.
