Queen Mary 2

Queen Mary 2 - She's really big

Couple of big boats in town lately so this week I'm going to do a boat week

Monochrome Weekend

This is the Lord Nelson Hotel in Sydney's Rocks, Australia's oldest licensed hotel, established in 1841 and home of Australia's oldest pub brewery. A damn fine place for a drink on a hot summer's night (or any time).

For more monochrome madness, visit Dragonstar's Weekend in Black and White.

The micro brewery is at the back of the bar and can bee seen though glass windows. There are also a lot of interesting bits and pieces on the walls.

Sky Watch Friday

Sydneysiders will know that is shot wasn't taken recently. We've had nothing but grey skies and high humidity for a couple of weeks.

Mardi Gras

The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras runs for the next two weeks. The main parade is on Saturday 5 March. Here is a look at the parade route along Oxford Street, Darlinghurst. 

Oops

This is one from the Winter Festival, or whatever its called, that I didn't get a chance to use last year.

Number Plate

Greek Orthodox Church, Kogarah

The Greek Orthodox Church in Kogarah looks extremely plain from the outside. Inside, however, is completely different.

Garden Island (4)

The highest point on the Island gives a 360 degree view of the Harbour and surrounds. This view is looking up the harbour towards the heads.

Garden Island (3)

What do you think this is?

Its the inside of this.

Garden Island (2) - War and Peace

Garden Island

Several weeks ago, Julie of Sydney Eye and I spent a pleasant few hours visiting Garden Island, the home port for major naval fleet units based on the East Coast of Australia. One end of the island (fenced off from the base) is open to the public and houses a museum, cafe and various other bits and pieces, set amongst beautiful garden areas.

This is the small Rivercat type ferry that travels to and from the Island, only a few minutes from Circular Quay.

Monochrome Weekend/Wharf Theatre (5)

Looking across at the Wharf Theatre complex. That's the cafe/bar balcony at the end.

Weekend Reflections

Looking through the foyer of the Park Hyatt Hotel, which has one of the most beautiful locations in the city, under the Harbour Bridge and right opposite the Opera House.

Wharf Theatre (3)

This is the inside section of the cafe/bar, the balcony of which I showed you earlier.

Wharf Theatre (2)

Sydney Theatre Company has done a wonderful job of converting the wharf.

Wharf Theatre

This should clarify last Saturday's reflection. All this week's photos (apart from yesterday) are taken in and around Sydney Theatre Company's Wharf Theatre complex.

Go Slow

Look what I found when I got home from work last Monday. I knew they were putting a sign in the street but I didn't know it was going to be right outside, or this big.

You can see this fellow in magnificent colour here.

Yabun (4)/Sky Watch Friday

It was a great day for the kids, who were extremely well catered for with games, football, face painting and dancing. Here they are learning to zumba under a heavy, overcast sky.

Yabun (3)

There was a heavy political, government and aid agency presence. The Greens were doing a roaring trade.

Yabun (2)

As expected, there was a strong political message to Yabun.
