Tank Stream Bar is a small laneway bar in Tank Stream Way. The settlement of Sydney was centred on the Tank Stream, which was a stream of fresh water that emptied into Sydney Cove. It was covered in the mid 1800s but still flows beneath the city and this laneway as part of the stormwater system.
“The Tank Farm” is the name of this structure in Ballast Point Park, in the inner west suburb of Birchgrove. The tanks depict how Ballast Point was once used by industry as a working harbourfront and grease manufacturing site. The three remaining riveted horizontal tanks date back to the 1920s and were formerly used to store solvents. They are in their original form, making them a visual landmark from land, air and the harbour.
