Cockatoo Weekend

View from Cockatoo Island with an amazing sky. Cameron & I were there from Sunday to Monday for two reasons: Biennale (art show) and an archaeological tour. We saw lots of industry because the island used to be where ships were repaired since convict time. Convicts constructed the first wet/dry dock in the 1840s and it was heavily used during the wars.

Here's an image of the guard house used during the convict period that has been flooded with grinding balls. This may have been one of my favorite installations. The other one were these exploding cars. SWEET!After it got dark, we wandered around the island a bit with our lantern. Taking photos in the dark is difficult: most of the shots were out of focus, but we couldn't get it any better. I took this shot (obviously as he's in it).


Its off to dinner, I made a beef curry tonight and we will be having it over rice. I'll post some older images later tonight from our trip
