Ruby (the dog) and I just caught short our walk when I looked south.

There’s a pedestrian and cycle bridge that goes over a tollway that connects Sydney’s Woolloomooloo to the back of the Art Gallery of NSW. I know the wire mesh is to stop people dropping items onto cars, but I don’t know why there’s a blue/purple light over the road.

Afternoon stroll at Lighthouse Reserve at Sydney’s Vaucluse. Cool breeze, calm sea and clouds.

Gurrajin, now also known as Elizabeth Bay, was a fishing village Governor Lachlan Macquarie set up for displaced Aboriginal people. The famous Bungaree led these people. This morning was a little warmer than expected, the yachts were still sleeping.

In 1825, the Governor of NSW (his name was Brisbane) granted land that became Cooper’s Brisbane Brewery, this lane was within the boundaries and was called Brisbane Lane. In 1905, it was renamed Sutherland Lane. It feels a bit ominous in the dark hours.

Could One Nation win a 76-seat majority on their own by 2028? Statistically, the odds are virtually zero.
So will Agnes rule out forming a coalition with the coalition and No Onions? - I would say he won't.
Reminds me of politics of 1933 in Berlin. And that did not end well.

I’ve seen increasing comments from ON supporters that they don’t care what ON policies are, don’t mind having Gina pull the strings, they don’t care that Hanson does know how to run a government, don’t care that her team is a rabble. They just want change.
We are in trouble.

Even on a grey start, Sydney can still manage a bit of sparkle.

The forecast is for showers. I think I shall not listen to the pundits as the hit miss ratio is underwhelming. Sydney’s Rushcutters Bay was pearling on this rather delightful dawn.

Just heard a 20” clip of Agnes Taylor, in those few moments, he used ‘Rotten Labor Government’ three times. A more unconvincing fellow I’ve yet to hear.

Near the Sydney Harbour Bridge (you can see a pylon lower left) on the southern side is The Rocks to the east and Millers Point on the western side. There are some wonderful alleys. This is Parbury Lane in Millers Point, foot and bicycle traffic only.

First light over Sydney Harbour on a chilly early morning as most sleep in on the long weekend Monday, but not me. I’m here to witness the inky depths and the gentle breeze rolling over the surface.

Construction of the Sydney Opera House started in 1959 when Australia was a mostly conservative, inward looking nation. It’s hard to fathom that white, middle class, traditionalist blokes let Jorn Utzon design take shape. (Well there was a lot more to it really)

There’s very little new aerosol art in Sydney’s Surry Hills with the exception of commissioned portraits of footy stars, to find the old pieces, back alleys must be sort. This one is in Fitzroy Lane which was named after Sir Charles Fitzroy who was Governor of NSW 1846-1855.

Diversity is the key, if every morning was a bright and clear day, nothing would be special. Even on a drab, grey Sydney winters dawn, Centennial Park delights with a pond of ducks.

A sunrise, clouds, a jet, a container ship and a rock jetty make this Botany Bay winter scene. And typical of Sydney, I’m at a spot named after an English seaside resort town. Our Ramsgate is not in Kent.

I was thinking, after looking at Poorlene’s policies, I wonder if there is one on chemtrails coming soon?
