The Goods Line, the Frank Gehry building and new Entertainment Centre

One of the features of Harbour Mill is that there's so much happening in the vicinity. There will always be somewhere interesting to walk to without worrying about a car or public transport. My blog has highlighted many of them.

A new feature of Sydney due to open in the next few months is The Goods Line. The southern section runs from Ultimo Road (near the ABC studios and Haymarket) through to Railway Square, and this is already open.

The northern section extends from Ultimo Road to the Powerhouse Museum, alongside Harris Street and the rail tracks.

It is also the location of the new iconic building that has created great controversy, the first building in Australia by world famous architect, Frank Gehry. It is part of UTS. You can read about some of the controversy here.

The Goods Line has the potential to be an interesting space, a 500 metre walk from Darling Harbour to Railway Square filled with buskers, street theatre, food stalls and places to relax (although it's not like this yet). There's a great video on what it will look like, linked here. Since it's close to HM, it's well worth a look.

You can see the Gehry Building in the background of this picture taken from the north near HM.

Here's a picture of the Gehry Building taken from The Goods Line. You can see the northern section which starts here, at the bridge over Ultimo Street, it not finished and still barred off. This path will lead all the way to the Powerhouse Museum, not far from HM. Don't judge The Goods Line from this picture, visit in a couple of months when it's finished.

Also worth seeing progress on the new Entertainment Centre (the old one will be ripped down at the end of 2015 to make way for apartments). In this photo, you can see the start of the tiering where the seats will go, in front of the yellow columns. So when you go to see a concert there, you will know what it looked like in its early stages.
