It's a long drawn out joke, but are you looking at Brian May?
After 11 years away from Australia, including 6 years in the Middle East, we have finally made it back to Australia for a 4 year posting with international consultants, Arup. Follow the occassionally interesting and occassionally updated happenings of our family, or more importantly our (now three year old) triplets - Thomas, Zach and Hannah.

Feeding Kangaroos
Day trip to Symbio Zoo, a small wildlife park outside Woollongong. Thomas, Zach and Hannah get to feed the kangaroos in the rain.
Barangaroo
View of the Baranagaroo Development from my office window. Lend Lease have avoided having an extensive number of trucks on the road carrying excavated material by purchasing a container barge. This is loaded up with excavated material and sails off to drop it off at the new Port Kembla. Saves all that extra traffic, fuel etc. The barge looks like it may not make it all the way, though.

Cockatoo Island
Weekend trip to Cocktoo Island. From the ferry at Cicular Quay...

Under the Harbour Bridge...
Docking at Cockatoo Island....
Cockatoo Island is hosting part the Biennale Festival, a contemporary arts visual arts festival. I read the program, digested the exhibit information and contemplated the relevance of each installation, but could not for the life of me give you any idea what any of them are about. So here is some cold smoke pouring across the entrance to a building.
After a long tour of the exhibits, we sit and contemplate the relevance of existance in context of man's struggle to come to terms with mortality and post-modernist.....pass the vegemite.
Following initial use as a penal facility in the 1850's, Cockatoo Island developed into a major shipyard, reaching its zenith in the 1940's after the fall of Singapore.
(Long day (its only 2.30pm) and we are starting to feel very tired (pronounced "Toi-urrrd").
