Elegance amongst the Ordinary

The sensual lines of the Art Deco era AWA Radio Tower contrast against the brutal lines of the more modern neighbouring buildings.

 

Built in 1939 to serve as a radio transmission tower, it operated until the 60's and once contained a lift to provide access to the viewing platform.

 

Protected by a heritage order, this symbol of a more stylish age provides Sydney's citizens and visitors with a glimpse into that past.
