This building was designed to store gunpowder in barrels. The magazine contains three barrel-vaulted storage chambers; shown externally by the three separate rooflines and gables.
Before electricity became available, lighted lamps (either candle or oil) were used to light the chambers at night. However, fire was a considerable threat to a magazine; it would take just one spark… Clever design improved safety. Using a perimeter internal passageway that runs around and between the internal vaults; incorporating small, glazed windows at five metre intervals, the lighted lamps were placed on the exterior sills to illuminate the interior of the chambers.
Pure joy as you wake to the sunrise. Awe as you make it to the snowy peak. A sense of adventure as you motor across red plains. The relief of rejuvenation as you wade into an alpine stream. Connection as you taste native, fragrant leaves. A sense of belonging as you return to your favourite holiday house. Freedom as you dash into the waves. Discover the endless feelings a visit to NSW can inspire.
