This river barge would have regularly passed up and down the Moruya River (New South Wales, Australia) a hundred years ago, working as a sand dredge. Dredging the river was essential to the small ships transporting locally quarried granite blocks up the coast to build the pylons of the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge. The waters of Malabar Creek, an offshoot of the river and where the barge now rests and rusts, were perfectly still and flat, giving me a mirror in which the Milky Way’s stars, nebulae and dust lanes were reflected.
