Mr Tom Miles has forwarded this clever photo of the cylindrical gasometer at Balgowlah Road, taken in 1978. In 1964 the gasometer was painted to resemble a giant golf ball, and the paint job lasted into the 1970s, but by the time this photo was taken, it had reverted to an unpainted condition. Disconcertingly, it now resembled a giant soccer ball. You can imagine the keeper facing into the glare when a corner came over from his right. Perhaps that's why he is wearing the bunnet. Mona Vale United is one of the teams playing here in a Premier League game at the L M Graham Reserve.
