Maybe a raincoat or an umbrella? A kind message from Optus

Photos of the Sydney Opera House under construction.

Have a look at these great photo's of the Opera House and Sydney taken in 1965 (I think) taken either by Sarah's Dad (John) or her Grandpa (Jack). John has recently scanned them from some old slides. No higher res available at the moment. It would be a fun exercise to take some photo's today from the same spots to compare. Hmmm, maybe if I get the time.

I love the red phone box in the bottom left of this one.

Absent without leave!

My apologies to both my loyal readers. I have been preoccupied. I promise to post more regularly.

The Plot Thickens!

I found another note. This time on the footpath on Aubrey St.

I don't know what to say. It's a fine little mystery. It contains some similar themes to the other but in a very oblique way.

Let's hope I find another.

Strange notes

The other day someone left this little note in our letterbox. I don't know exactly what it means. I did a search on the tubes but could find nothing about it. Is it a promotional flyer for something? Viral Marketing? It seems too flippant to be some sort of anti immigration propaganda.

It is about the size of a business card.

News Vehicles on Stanmore Road

Here is a few pictures of the news vehicles parked outside the old Concordia Club after the balcony collapse at Newington College.

An interesting aside - Even though now I live just up the road from Newington College, in 1991 I had never heard of it until the 'Stathfield Massacre' occurred and the newspapers made some comment on Wade Frankum's education there. There were also calls for censorship after controversial books were found in his belongings after his death. People have always had it in for Germaine Greer!

Cat Stencil in Enmore

This is one of our favourite pieces of street art in the Inner West. Charlotte likes it because she likes cats, and I think its just a nice whimsical little addition to the streetscape. There are a few around the place, this one is near the carpark at the top of Edgeware rd in Enmore.
