White Bay is a bay on Sydney Harbour with a surrounding locality near the suburbs of Balmain and Rozelle in the Inner West of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. ==History== White Bay is named after John White, the naval surgeon aboard the First Fleet to Australia in 1788. Since the nineteenth century the bay has been used for water-based transport and industrial activities. In conjunction with adjacent Glebe Island it has been a multipurpose port, owned and controlled by the Government of New South Wales since 1901.〔Sydney Ports; ''Glebe Island and White Bay Master Plan, Part A''; 2000; ()〕〔Sydney Ports; ''Glebe Island and White Bay Master Plan, Part B''; 2000; ()〕 It caters for container handling, break bulk cargo (timber, paper, motor vehicles and steel) and dry bulk cargoes (cement, sugar, gypsum, aggregates, etc.). The White Bay Hotel 〔(White Bay Hotel Heritage Report )〕 was a historic hotel on Victoria Road. It was first built in 1861, rebuilt in 1916, and refurbished in 1925 and 1933. It finally closed in 1992, "landlocked" by roads and with no local workers. Until 2004 it served only as a platform for billboards advertising to traffic on the Western Distributor, and on 5 September 2008 was destroyed by a suspicious〔ABC News, 7pm, 6 September 2008〕 fire and immediately demolished. The NSW state government bought the site in June 2010.〔(State snaps up White Bay Hotel site (SMH) )〕 The rubble was removed on 29 October 2010 and the block levelled. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「White Bay (New South Wales)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
