My grandma lives in Silverdale, a short walk from Warragamba dam.

There used to be an amusement park there with caged lions. I remember it vaguely from when I was about 5 years old I guess.

But it shutdown and they just left the lions there, fenced into the bushland between the dam and Silverdale. Growing up we’d stay with her every school holidays, and you could hear them roar every so often.

Those bushlands don’t exist anymore. It’s another shitty housing development now.
