Walk 9 - Cockatoo Island - Biennale 2012
The Group met at the Greenwich Wharf bright and early to board the Ferry across the Parramatta River to Cockatoo Island. Once again raincoats and umbrellas were on and up against the rain from a bleak old grey sky.
Biennale art and exhibits were the attractions for our visit today while serious walking took a rest. The presentations of imaginative Wind Chimes, mysterious glow-worm lights in the dog-leg tunnel, great white paper clouds, flowers, feathers, glittery globes, shadow man, a landscape timber wave, industrial turbine and engines sounds of yesteryear, resin roots golden green crater, more paper,more clouds of white, fluffy feathers folding, silent vellum inflating lanterns, sand mandalas, snipped steel container curvaceous cutouts, flickering fantasy, oysters and cups - all designed to delight the public with creativity, imagination and often with much painstaking work.
A fair bit of solid walking around the island. was to be had as we wandered from one exhibit to another. Cockatoo Island was a new experience to some of our walkers today
Coffee alongside the imaginative palette tables at the Cafe where we were eyed by a hundred seagulls hoping to scoop in and beak off a crumb or two.
