This particular part of the city, Old Town Plaza, is especially bereft of watering holes thanks to the enormous Bankstown Sports Club around the corner. Yes, there’s the Bankstown Hotel and the RSL on the other side of the train line, […]

Due to circumstances way beyond my control, Vanishing Sydney has been forced to go into a long hiatus until after Xmas. In the meantime, enjoy the back catalogue. You can find 2,800 original unique photographs of the Inner West of my beloved Emerald City - Sydney, Australia. The best resolution is seen in the Archive box on your desktop, or just keep scrolling back forever on your device. It contains just about every single landmark of any note in the Inner West and a helluva lot more besides. Hope to be back in 2023.

In the meantime, go well, folks.
