Rozelle Tram Depot opened in 1904, playing a vital role in Sydney’s tram network, servicing the western and southwestern lines. Expanded over the following decades, it eventually housed around 200 tram carriages, making it Sydney’s second-largest tram depot.

The depot at one stage contained six historic Sydney trams, some of which date back to the 1930s.

Operations ceased in November 1958 as Sydney phased out its tram network, and the once busy depot fell into disrepair. For decades, it sat abandoned with trams left in the its enormous sheds.

In 2016, the heritage-listed site was given a new lease on life.

The abandoned Dunlop-Slazenger factory is one of Sydney’s reminders of its industrial manufacturing history.

Originally opened in the late 1930s, the factory was a major production site for footwear, sporting goods and tyres. It operated under the Dunlop name, becoming associated with products such as the iconic Dunlop Volley, which launched during the same decade.

The factory was a industrial facility, with large production floors, offices, warehouses and various workspaces.

Production at the site closed in 1994, with the company's manufacturing operations moving offshore by 1998.

My favourite space in the factory was the upstairs level. A hailstorm left holes in the roof, allowing sunlight to shine through and reflect across the wet floor, creating like a galaxy of stars. I remember seeing another photographer capture this, which made me want to find it and get the shot. It was definitely one of the highlights of exploring this building.

This abandoned zoo opened in 1980 and was home to a collection of native and introduced wildlife. Over the years, the surrounding area was developing so in 2016, the zoo closed its doors.

The animals were relocated to other wildlife parks and zoos, and the land was sold for redevelopment. I was very lucky to capture this place just as redevelopment started. Thankfully, it hadn’t been trashed or covered too much in graffiti, and the place was beautifully overgrown. Definitely giving Jurassic Park Vibes.

I had to add Rexy into one of the photos. And NO, it's not AI!

Before the workers’ cottages were built, workers at the factory lived in tents close to the site.

Between 1949 and 1950, the company built six cottages for its employees, with at least eight more constructed nearby.

Over time, the workers’ housing grew to around 18 cottages most of which have since been demolished.

There’s only two remaining cottages and they are typical examples of the simple post-war fibro homes built specifically for workers across NSW.

Take only photos, leave only footprints. The thrill is in discovering it, not destroying it.

A little recap of my recent Cairns trip…
finally ticking off Paronella Park after 10 years of wanting to go, lots of waterfalls, Curtain Fig Tree (real life Ferngully 🥰), day trip to Port Douglas, Kuranda, an abandoned zoo, Atherton, antique stores and finding some gothy goodies, and lots of little adventures inbetween.

Exploring an untouched abandoned Australian cottage.

I’m not sure exactly when it was abandoned, but I’d estimate sometime in the 1990s or early 2000s.

I really hate IG 4:5 crop for some photos. It completely changes the perspective and never shows the image the way it was meant to be seen.
