I have been away...sort of

[Perfs14]

Spent last week taking, with my daughter, the boys to their summer Theater  Group - in the City itself. With the recent-past terrorist nastiness and with all the roadwork there were so many detours and blocked streets that even the GPS Lady was confused!

But everyday after a 45 to 90 minute drive in traffic we managed to get there in time, so that we could pay unbelievable parking fees!

But apart from all that it was fantastic. Sydney harbor is the best! The company was great, the food was excellent and the week flowed past me in a flash. I am really going to miss it, yes even the many Km we walked like new tourists - in our home 'town' !

Sometimes the best things are right in front of you.

Here are some random memories:

I have no idea, sorry. It was an aircraft carrier of sorts but I could not see a name and I was too phased out by the beauty of the spot and the relief in finally making it to the Finger Wharf - it's amazing!

Based on designation L02, it should be the amphibious assault ship HMAS Canberra (III), which I believed was only recently commissioned a couple of months ago. It has a large helicopter dock, so it looks like a small aircraft carrier.

Based on the interweb L02 is in fact the HMAS Canberra

It's a work of art placed right in the middle of a round-about. The rock was a solid piece of quartz. The face I am not sure - a graffiti or intended by the artist? No Idea, but the boys were fascinated by it, so as art goes it served its purpose very well.
