Walk - Through Royal Botanic Gardens to New South Wales Gallery’s Biennale:
From Circular Quay we had a most pleasant walk through the Gardens, now seemingly ever green after the rains. Tranquil, beautiful, open space - one can be proud of our Gardens but I did wonder at ex PM Paul Keating’s lively lovely ranting statement in yesterdays’s SMH, that the Botanic Gardens are one of the two or three best in the world. In the world?
But beautiful they are and proud we can be.
First stop was yet another Rhino,how many have we seen so far? This one is possibly one of the best and better still, cleverly and artistically done by the daughter of one of Donna’s friends. Hundreds of re-cycled coloured container lids cover the colourful Rhino with beady blue eyes! One was reminded a little of the Cockney Pearly King of London town.
We did a little detour up to the Maiden Theatre so that Donna could see a plant, a Megakepasma which may be suitable for her new garden. I have one such propagated from that very specimen now flushed with red flowers.
The Biennale at the Gallery, like the MCA, has something to please all of us. We wandered around, paused to look and listen and examine. Coffee in the cafe before having a nice walk back through the Domain, the ever pleasing precinct of Sydney Hospital to the CBD.
We stopped to have a chat with the author of words on an eye catching placard, words which we can only approve and agree with. Further conversation then bewildered us somewhat so we decided to just dwell on the words, stay with them as shown on the placard and forget later conversation See below.
