 They are around on the other side. Recently the oil tanks were 'rehabilitated' 
to remove or at least seal in leftovers from its days as a fuel oil store for Garden
Island. The tanks are next to the substation, and look like a playing field, except
for the 2 large metal access covers in the middle of the field.

 There is now an expensive looking apartment block between the tanks and the bay.
