A favourite place name for Sydneysiders, Australians generally, but certainly for foreigners is Woolloomooloo.
I’m here early, it’s still and cool, with a clear sky and a slight hint of dawn blue.
And another favourite is the Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf.

No reason why public housing shouldn’t be of good design, set in a generous landscape setting.
Purcell in Redfern is a 1960’s #sydneyapartmentbuilding, with predominately studio apartments, part of the estate that followed extensive ’slum’ clearance by then NSW Housing Commission.

This gorgeous bird is an Eastern Rosella (Platycercus eximius), one of Australia’s most striking parrots. It is recognised by its vibrant red head, white cheeks, yellow underparts, and a splash of blue and green on the wings.
