Barangaroo
For thousands of years, Aboriginal rock carvings have survived because of the durable qualities of the sandstone that lies up to 6km deep beneath the Sydney Harbour, Australia.
The story of Barangaroo Reserve’s sandstone foreshore is one of unique design, engineering and landscape achievements in the history of Australia.
It’s a tale of traditional craftsmanship, industrial know-how, ground-breaking initiative, and teamwork at its finest.
More than 10,000 sandstone blocks were used to create the extraordinary headland park on the city’s doorstep.
93 per cent of the blocks came from Barangaroo itself, painstakingly extracted from beneath what is now the Cutaway, the Reserve’s massive cultural space.
