Spotted this guy looking through the window last night, casing the joint I guess. Please don't comment on the smudgy window.
Today is day 133 of Project 365 (Thursday).
Notes: The first Glebe Island Bridge was a private toll-bridge completed in 1862 and known as Blackbutts Bridge. It consisted of a timber viaduct with a small, hand-cranked, swing span tucked into the Pyrmont shore. This allowed shipping into Johnstons Bay and the adjacent Blackwattle and Rozelle bays. It was built from Tasmanian blackbutt timber. After 30 years, this bridge was in need of extensive repairs, so the Colonial Government purchased the structure and commissioned the Public Works Department to began planning for replacement bridge, which was opened in 1903.
