After our driving trip in April of 2016 from Mudgee to
Melbourne via the Snowy Mountains, and returning via the coast road, Pamela and I decided
to ‘do Sydney’ sometime. What better
time than October this year to coincide with a visit from my American relatives
Anne and Mel.
Pamela and I have shared our memories with an account of our fun time. I will
endeavour to upload photos with captions.
This is a great way to keep a diary forever. Mind you posting from my laptop is a new
frustration learning curb. Here we go.
Pamela says 'Lets do Sydney.'
Margaret flew from Bundaberg on Thursday October 20th. I flew from Mudgee to Sydney next day. Margaret stayed the first night at son Will's unit with American family Anne and Mel.
A ferry stop at Garden Island
Our famous Opera House
The beautifully constructed old Customs House
At the entrance we walked on perspex to view a model of the city
For a short time we relaxed in comfortable chairs while Anne and Mel read a New York Paper. There are papers from all around the world, a great coffee shop and restaurant on the top floor.
En route through the gardens from the City to Government House.
Oh to be a gardener of these grounds!
Fig trees in the gardens were planted in the early 1800's.
We relaxed on the wide verandah with a bottle of water. No G and T !! Note the sandstone wall.
We said farewell to the QVB and took a bus to Double Bay for a rest before our next adventure that night at a book launch at Oxford Street. Will rode his scooter to the venue. Anne, Mel, Margaret and I went by taxi to a hotel where the book "Pink Ink' was to be launched. Will got a mention in the book as being an editor for a newspaper in the early 1990's. We enjoyed drinks and hors-d'oeuvres before ordering Indian take away food from a nearby cafe and adjourning to the home of one of Will's friends. Lance has a small unit with a wonderful deck sporting many pot plants. The view of the city lights was stunning.
A group of mostly men listening intently to the author of the book.
Our happy friends.
SATURDAY.
After breakfast at the hotel I ferried to Circular Quay and walked up to the meeting place of the Frederick Meredith Descendants Group. Up through Argyle Cut and then onto the Observatory, lost of course. Finally finding the hall and the group. Meeting went ok with a long confusing conversation on speaker phone with a chap who knew all about DNA. Some of the group have had tests to try and find the birth place and long lost family of Fred . Maybe it will be disclosed?
Margaret had coffee with her 'old' friend Deirdre before we met up at Circular Quay. Yes, she couldn't resist eating a pie. A not so tasty one. We relaxed at the Dendy Movie Theatre. Saw a confusing movie, The Girl On The Train. Walking to the Double Bay ferry, we viewed the old steps to Macquarie Street, also a cruise ship ready to sail.
We enjoyed the ten minute ferry ride to Double Bay where we decided to have a much needed drink at the Sailing Club. Margaret reminisced about times she and Ross had at the club. Will's unit is one of the tall units on the left of the photo below.
A beautiful view the Club towards Rose Bay.
SUNDAY.
After a browse at a great book shop at Double Bay, we visited the magnificent new library where we explored three floors, then sat and read magazines. Because the wind was strong, we bought food from the bakery and like a pair of old pensioners, ate it on a form at the bus stop. Will did inform us the bus terminated at Pyrmont.
What a library!!!
Pamela wanted a photo of this bunny.
You can tell by the number of photos, we really
liked the library.
THIS IS WHERE THE BUS TERMINATED. AT PYRMONT WHARF.
We noted there was a guard at the main pylon of the bridge. A 24 hour surveillance.
Apparently the pontoon is a popular place for wedding photos.
The original Customs House
We left the gallery by the back door and found the remains of houses built in the very early days of Sydney Town. We walked past old cottages and entered a shop at Susanna Place. Margaret bought a feather duster. I bought a cookery book... as a present!! As out feet were weary, we visited again the old Customs House where Margaret was asked to kindly removed her socked feet completely off the lounge. Pamela wasn't caught. Hey Hey.
Imagine having to live in these conditions. I imagine the photo on the left is of a toilet. Note the bath dish and the remains of a small bedroom where I assume the whole family slept. The tree in the courtyard would be so old. No doubt grown from seed from the 'old country'.
I imagine this was their dining/lounge room. Note the view of the harbour
Anne, Mel and Will camped in the National Park south of Sydney on Saturday night. They had a great time, despite the cold and windy weather. We planned to meet them at the Eastern Suburbs Hotel at 5 p.m. Sunday for a meal and listen to great jazz. I am putting up Anne's photos from the two days.
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT THE JAZZ.
Being on the tired side, we got a cab to the Eastern Suburbs Hotel just before 5 p.m. We ordered a Guinness and perched on stools to brace the bar. The musicians were tuning up. As usual, Anne, Mel and Will were punctual. As we wanted to hear about their camping adventure, we adjourned to the quietness of the dining room where we were waited upon. Can recommend the hamburgers!
After much laughter and catching up on our activities, we reluctantly left, at least the jazz buffs did. Will, the perfect tour guide looked up buss times to Double Bay. We were home in quick time, tired and happy after a top day. Pamela and I bought a rather expensive take-a-way pizza at a restaurant near the Savoy. The area is not called Double Pay for no reason!!
MONDAY 24TH OCTOBER.
We bused to Edgecliff, then train from Central to Brooklyn in the Hawksbury River basin. After walking up MANY STAIRS, then down as many, we paid our $45 to the organiser of the Riverboat Postman. The first Riverboat Postman started the run in 1910 and the tradition continues today. Our skipper was local and has lived in the area their whole lives. Be entertained with stories of the river whilst cruising in comfort up the spectacular waterway. We delivered mail to settlements of Danbgar and Milson Islands, Kangaroo Point, Bar Point, Marlow Creek, Fisherman's Point and Milson's Passage before returning to Brooklyn by about 1.15. We were served a morning tea of Anzac Biscuits, tea or coffee. Lunch was a choice of chicken or ham with a salad. Wine could be purchased.
Relaxing hours passed before tackling the stairs to the train station back to Central, then to Edgecliff and a bus to Double Bay.
Mel kindly offered to cook dinner that night. As Pamela was tired, I walked the two blocks to Will's unit. Much reminiscing was done over a few well deserved wines with Mel's delicious seafood pasta. We planned our day for Tuesday's adventure to see Sculpture by The Sea.
Shoreline rocks are pieces of art.
Sand Fly breeding country amongst mangroves.
Anne and Mel enjoying the breeze.
TUESDAY . IT WAS A MUST TO SEE THE YEARLY 'SCULPTURE BY THE SEA' BETWEEN BONDI AND TAMARAMA BEACHES.
After waiting 30 minutes for a bus to Bondi Junction, then to Bondi Beach, Pamela and I decided to get a taxi. Anne, Mel and Will decided to walk the many kilometers. We enjoyed a coffee at the beach before meeting them for our adventure.
For 20 years, David Handley has been organising the exhibition . He was a disillusioned law graduate from Sydney's north shore. 103 artists from 17 countries exhibited this year. Each artist receives at least $2,000 towards installation costs. Most prefer to sell their art. Finance comes from Arts NSW, the Federal Government, sponsors and donors. The day before our 3 hour walk around artistic cliffs while listening to crashing waves, high tides with huge waves thrashed the beaches, washing some of the exhibits on Tamarama beach into the sea.
Will decided to exhibit his art work found in the street nearby!!
Hidemi Tokutake, Japan. Wasp nest in clay. $1,300 small, $1,600 large.
Beautiful natural rock behind hardy daisies.
Sometimes we take natural art for granted.
Art work by nature. Priceless.
Yet again.
Note plants growing from rock. Beautiful.
Why can't we grow these in our gardens?
North Bondi in the background.
Beautiful flowers that thrive in salty beach conditions.
Ian Swift, NSW . Found objects. Available for site specific commissions.
Niharika Hukku, NSW. Porcelain, Steel, Phospherescent paint. $27,000

Cave Urban NSW. Bamboo, steel. $35,000.

Tuesday night we ate pizza, salad and other goodies, and of course enjoyed a few glasses of wine. We made plans for our final day.
In light rain, Anne and Mel walked Pamela and I back to the Savoy.
WEDNESDAY - OUR LAST MORNING.
Anne, Mel and Will helped with our luggage to the bus stop where because of Wills great organising through technology, we boarded a bus to Watsons Bay without time to spare. What a surprise for us to see three whales moving south after the breeding season further north. They were too far out for a good photo, but close enough for us to see them blow water and flash tails. It was a first sighting for Anne, Mel and Will. Anne and Mel walked up stairs and around the the headland where they had a good view of the entrance to the harbour. They found it difficult to believe it's a place where suicides occur, also a recent murder.
We ordered fish and chips from the famous Doyle's eatery at the pier , then sat at a table in the park before boarding the catamaran to Circular Quay where we said a sad farewell to Anne and Mel. Pamela got a train to Lithgow west of the Blue Mountains then connected with a bus to Mudgee, arriving there at 10.p.m. . I boarded a train to the airport and was back at beautiful Bargara by 5.30 p.m. Anne and Mel had another two days before flying to New Zealand for a couple of weeks.
ANNE AND MEL'S LAST DAYS IN SYDNEY.
Pamela says 'Lets do Sydney.'
Margaret flew from Bundaberg on Thursday October 20th. I flew from Mudgee to Sydney next day. Margaret stayed the first night at son Will's unit with American family Anne and Mel.
Enjoying coffee at Double Bay.
FRIDAY
I used my Opal card from the airport to Central and then onto Edgecliff where the sophisticated and so cool Will met me. We bused to Double Bay coffee shop where Margaret, Anne and Mel were sipping coffee. I dropped my bag at the Savoy and off we went to the Ferry at Double Bay, hopping off at Circular Quay, Customs House for a quick look and a pee. You needed to know that!

For a short time we relaxed in comfortable chairs while Anne and Mel read a New York Paper. There are papers from all around the world, a great coffee shop and restaurant on the top floor.
En route through the gardens from the City to Government House.
Onto Government House on foot. We registered and found a chair in the gardens to have lunch prepared by Will. Forbidden to eat on the verandah's fancy chairs. They were so inviting. A free tour of of our Government House with Rae, an older gent who had a story or two to tell about governors and their wives.
We gathered he wasn't keen on Mrs Macquarie. Perhaps it was because she was ahead of her time.
Government house is located in Sydney alongside the Royal Botanic Gardens overlooking Sydney Harbour. Constructed between 1837 and 1843 the property has been the official residence of the Governor of New South Wales. The Governor of New South Wales resides with his wife on the second floor. They entertain officials and dignitaries in the beautiful hall decorated with antique furniture. Fresh flowers abound in each room. Large paintings of every Governor hang in the wide entrance hall. Unfortunately no cameras were allowed.
Fig trees in the gardens were planted in the early 1800's.
We relaxed on the wide verandah with a bottle of water. No G and T !! Note the sandstone wall.
Another very old tree. This one a paper bark.
FROM GOVERNMENT HOUSE TO QUEEN VICTORIA BUILDING
Anne and Mel walked up town to the Queen Victoria Building in George Street. . Margaret and I bused, then wandered and window shopped at the amazing boutiques. The QVB was designed by George McRae and completed in 1898, replacing the original Sydney markets on the site. Built as a monument to the long reining monarch Queen Victoria, construction took place in dire times, as Sydney was in a severe recession. It is a grandiose high Victorian sandstone building which occupies boutique shops and coffee/eating places. A monument of Queen Victoria is perched on the southern end of the building which occupies a whole block.
On the walk to the QVB building, Anne came upon this beautiful art exhibit of fifty bird cages representing fifty species of birds that are no longer found in Sydney. Recorded sounds from each bird can be heard. It's on my 'must see' list when next I visit Sydney.
Between Government House and the Queen Victoria Building.
The QVB building.
Queen Victoria's speaking dog. It resembles 'Bobbie Dog" the Scottish dog who slept on his masters gave every night until his death.
The dome in the centre of the building is absolutely beautiful.
The dome in the centre of the building is absolutely beautiful.
On the hour there is movement within the structure, telling the story of the discovery of Australia.
Coffee time at one of the cafes.
The Australian national seal - a kangaroo and an emu. Neither can walk backward, so Australia can only move forward.
We said farewell to the QVB and took a bus to Double Bay for a rest before our next adventure that night at a book launch at Oxford Street. Will rode his scooter to the venue. Anne, Mel, Margaret and I went by taxi to a hotel where the book "Pink Ink' was to be launched. Will got a mention in the book as being an editor for a newspaper in the early 1990's. We enjoyed drinks and hors-d'oeuvres before ordering Indian take away food from a nearby cafe and adjourning to the home of one of Will's friends.

Hullo Kitty
THE DUMP DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!
