Sculptures by the Sea Part 3: Revenge of the Silt
When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life – Samuel Johnson Had he been born a few centuries later, Johnson’s quote could equally be attributable to the city of Sydney. With another October (our third here) looming we were certainly not tired of life or Sydney and we geared ourselves up […]
Hidden City
One of our first road trips after reaching Sydney was to take a short trip down to the nation’s capital – Canberra. We did the majority of museums and galleries and also did a tour of the Parliament Building. With that trip done we ticked Canberra off our list – it had been done. Fast […]
