Air Compressor urban sunlight pushing through grimy windowsA rotary air compressor sits against an exposed stone cutting at Hornsby Quarry, pipes trailing across broken ground and a rusted ladder leaning against the cooling unit. Graffiti marks the casing; vegetation pushes up through the gravel. Hornsby Quarry supplied crushed dolerite for road construction across northern Sydney from around 1905 until operations ceased in 2002. Part of the Hornsby Quarry series.
