Sydney International Boat Show

Just home from visiting the annual boat show, and happy to say we bought nothing except a coffee. 

So? you ask, well the past 2 years we have gone we have bought a boat each time!

Foggy start to the day.

Rubber Duck....

Artist Florentijn Hofman sculptures are big, very big, and Rubber Duck is no exception.

Rubber Duck doesn't discriminate and has no political connotation. "It relieves everyday tensions, as well as defining them. Its purpose is to do no more than amaze." Says the artist.

The bright yellow inflatable is five storeys high and five storeys wide and has been popping up in various cities around the world since 2007.

Rubber Duck is currently in Darling Harbour as part of the Sydney Festival and leaves on the 23rd January.

Darling Harbour, again...

National Maritime Museum

Australians are closely linked to the sea through commerce, defence, exploration, adventure, sport and play. Our oceans and waterways have influenced our development...and who we are.

The museum captures these themes with fascinating artefacts, lively exhibitions, fun activities and even the chance to board ships and experience life on the water.
