Day15

Oh where to begin.

Up and off to eat breakfast at the Honolulu Grill. Then back to the apartment and off to the "fast ferry" into Sydney.



Revisited Jahmarliy, a young Aboriginal boy, selling his wares near the ferry. He and his family has been performing music and selling paintings and clap sticks there for many years as they had the deed to the area due to laws protecting their people.



Then I headed off to the old part of Sydney, The Rocks. 

Sydney's Oldest Pub

A cobblestone alleyway 

Historic marker under the Harbour Bridge

I love this architecture. Beautiful two story residences.

My newest house.

The people here are so considerate. This sign just went up outside my newest house. ha.

Old mail drops.

A beautiful cobblestone street.

A back alley way for some apartments.


Lunch time. Struck up a wonderful hour long conversation with a local artist that had a pop up studio next door to the G'day Cafe. He uses discarded signs and posters then screen prints on them. A wonderful encounter.

Trees at the Circular Quay.

Detail of Guan Wei's piece in the entrance to the Museum of Contemporary Art addressing the atrocities happening in Australia regarding the "boat people".

Etched detail of Brook Andrews' "Warring" at MCA.

A local.

Snails at the Customs House - a part of Art and About Sydney.

My hand touching the Sydney Opera House as a record of my being here.

Crazy little people on top of the bridge on the left doing the Harbour Bridge walk.

Then caught the fast ferry back to Manly and it was a run to get to the opening of the Manly Arts Festival and the Chris' wonderful paintings at the Manly Gallery and Museum.

I did a performance outside and as always the reactions to a protester is an experiment in human behavior.

Then off to the 4 Pines for an after party and was great. Got home late and off to bed.
