Badger Galore
Staying ‘Up Over’ for a while.
Solo to Sydney.
So... today I went to Sydney while the 'Artists' finished off their set up at the gallery. I took the train which strangely went via Penrith, Pendle Hill and Croydon. It was a two-hour journey there and back. I visited the new Art Gallery of New South Wales, had a wander around the harbour to the Museum of Contemporary Art and then back through the city to Darling Harbour before catching the train back to Katoomba.
Work in Progress.
So... no time for Blue Mountain exploration today. It was all 'hands on deck' up at the cultural centre getting ready for the exhibition opening on Friday.
Awesome!
So... while the Artists were busy at the Gallery today, I walked along the western edge of the plateau visiting all the lookouts across the National Park. This evening Will and I walked out to Echo Point and down the steps to the Three Sisters.
To the Blue Mountains.
So...today our trip to the Blue Mountains in New South Wales began. We got up at 3.00 am and set off at 4.00 am. According to Google Maps it was just over a 9 hour journey. We arrived in Katoomba at 3.45 pm NSW time (2.45 pm Qld time) almost 11 hours since we set off, but we had stopped for breakfast in Tamworth and Lunch in Mudgee.
We are here for a week. Tomorrow we begin setting up the exhibition Tracy, Rochelle and Will have been working on for the Katoomba Art Gallery. The exhibition opens on Friday.
'Guess how many are in the jar' (oops...not as many as you thought!)
So...Christmas is coming and school here is breaking up for summer! (Yes, if you live 'Up Over', I know it's hard to come to terms with but this is the weird reality of the 'Upside Down'.)
I spotted this jar of deliciousness on the 'Book Cave' desk, and helped myself to two chocolaty treats before I discovered its contents were not for consumption by staff.
It's part of a festive competition. Oops!
