Sydney, Australia’s civic pride in Pride
#worldpride2023
A return to Rawson Place!
Soon to be the site of Rawson Place stop and an interchange with Sydney Buses, which will share the short street with two bus lanes at their disposal. Over a century ago Rawson Place didn't exist boasting an orphanage, shops and school on the site. Now the artefacts have been located, recorded and (if necessary) collected it's full steam ahead!
Note: The ventilation shafts prominent in the pictures have been built to service an Ausgrid substation - which now resides below the street!
Picture shows the track slab, the Ausgrid ventilation shafts, and to the right construction work being carried out in relation to the future bus lanes

Our emergency crews work in all kinds of weather. One of our crews recently snapped this shot of a full rainbow at Berowra.
We used a helicopter to help install aerial marker balls on powerlines above the Hawkesbury River between Bar Point and Fishermans Point. The safety markers help pilots spot the wires.

Sydney's skyline has changed a lot since this shot from our archive was taken back in 1951 - no Opera House, no Centrepoint Tower, no North Sydney office towers or CBD skyscrapers. As the city grew so did our network - today we supply 1.7 million customers across Sydney, the Central Coast, Newcastle and the Hunter.
We've commissioned the new Tighes Hill zone substation which will supply 12,400 homes and businesses in Newcastle as well as major industrial customers in the Newcastle Port area.
This is the top of Sydney's Town Hall and its 55-metre tall clock tower, which opened in 1873. The original clock was made by Gillet & Co in 1883. The town hall and clock tower were built between 1869 and 1889 from Pyrmont ‘yellow block’ sandstone, which was used in the restoration completed in 2013. The clock was re-gilded with three rings of gold leaf like the original.
In the background from left some buildings along the intersection of George Street and Bathurst Street: an unremarkable Meriton building; Ausgrid is the former Energy Australia and a big supplier of electricity in Sydney and nearby regions; the flag is Aboriginal not German; the post-modern edifice behind the clock tower was once branded Coopers & Lybrand but current tenant HSBC has skimped on a vanity sign; the triple pencil towers are the Lumiere apartments complex.
Sydney's first electric lights were witched on in July 1904. This photo from our archive shows Martin Place in the CBD lit up in 1937.
