The Waverton Coal Loader is one of the most significant industrial heritage sites on Sydney Harbour. It is particularly interesting because of the combination of rock, sandstone, brick, steel, concrete and timber used in its construction. The textures and juxtapositions of these elements make ideal subjects for photography and other artwork.

Join North Sydney Council Historian Dr Ian Hoskins on a walk around the site which will focus on the material detail of the Coal Loader and provide historical background on their use.
