Cockatoo Island, stack and tower

The chimney stack and the water tower from the industrial past of Cockatoo Islandstill dominate the skyline. The coal fired powerhouse and brick chimney stack were built in 1918, to provide electricity for the island. The concrete tower is the tallest of three that provided water to the island. For a distant view of how they dominate the skyline of the island, there's a shot here from across the harbour.
