I did not say it, but I thought last week’s art ride should have been part of the WNBR ride, but alas, it was not. This week I did the bike ride around Waterloo and Alexandria, ending in Newtown. The rides are held by Bike Sydney and are part of Art Month Sydney.
For the second year in a row I went to the Portuguese Festival in Petersham. Again it was crowded. I think that this time the food was better as there was more focus on Portuguese food and less non of your run of the mill street festival food stalls. I had smoked [...] Well, on the way home I did something unusual and walked down to Belmore park rather than across to Castlereagh Street and saw what turned out to be a rehearsal for the opening ceremony for Chinese New Year. So we saw them go through the various parts, checking the timings, lights and sound. Each act put on a shortened version of their show and the talkers were not present. But still it was very interesting.
I had dinner with Karyn at the Peace and Harmony vegan (Thai) restaurant and then headed down to the Vivid Light Festival. I cleverly left my camera at home so was only able to take some photos using my mobile phone. And the mobile’s battery ran out later in the night. Still I think [...]  tents I went down to my first Marrickville Eco Fest. The weather was somewhat cloudy with patches of rain. I took my big umbrella.

I got up early and headed into the festival. All was quite except a few people setting up their stalls, some people of the festival itself doing festival things and a few people feeding them. I grabbed some food, took a pic of the bike in the bike lock-up and watched the start of the first event for the day, the poets breakfast in the Troubadour.

I walked up the hill to the festival. On the way I walked through Henson Park for the first time. And then some images from Marrickville and Petersham. Finally, I reached the top of the [...] This is a slide show of all of the Parkes Elvis festival 20009, but the sound track is from the gospel service. Mostly the sound is ok, but for one song there is a lot of distortion. The photos are from my collection on flickr. I did the slide show on full auto and [...] |
