Great detail for a fine building, for me the fire made her more legendary as it otherwise wouldn't have aged gracefully at all. Darling Harbour "Harbourside" comes to mind.

Highranger I tend to agree with you. Fascinating to see how it was built - a lot like a stage set - no wonder it went up with a 'woof'.

beachcomber australia As seen in this photo www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/8005394083/in/pho... it was certainly a light weight structure. This must have been an annex off the main hall as it doesn't have an arched roof and is a bit of a wannabe train shed looking at the roof style. Notice how all the timber trusses have been tarted up with stenciled designs. I had a 13 cm dia. bronze prize medallion for one of the exhibitors a while ago, I think I flogged it on Ebay in a fit of rationalising my belongings.
