For an eight-part tour around Wolli Creek/Tempe House, have a look here: my Sydney Daily Photo blog. I have also posted about it and the Cooks River previously on this site. See here.
Below: The roundabout intersection of Brodie Spark Drive and Arncliffe St, looking towards the Princes Highway. In the centre is a sculpture named Wolli Dancing.

Below: The vacant area below has been a scrap metal dealer's site, now gone.
Below: The sign points along Arncliffe St, which is narrow and has a much increased volume of traffic. There is no dedicated cycleway, and I would be ver wary of cycling along here. I've only ever seen one or two bikes in my time.
Below: From 1884 to 1983, Tempe House was occupied by Catholic nuns, the Magdalen Sisters, and the church dates from that time. It is now de-commissioned as a church. It is meant to function as some kind of community facility, but as yet, nothing seems to have happened there - it is always locked and off-limits.

Below: The apartment development at the back, linked with the back of Tempe House.
Below: From Brodie Spark Drive, the back of Temoe House was visible beyond the swimming pool until frosted glass was installed to prevent the look-through.
