Chalk the Walk

We finally found where the chalk drawings were after trudging all over the area. Where were the flags? Sydney advertises every event with flags! There were no flags to be found... Finally, we found out that the chalk drawings were on the bridge. They were however, pretty disappointing. I was expecting to see 3-D drawings in the vein of Julian Beever (ok maybe not as SPECTACULAR as Julian Beever), but all I saw were mostly flat drawings, regular, flat drawings. A couple managed to do something which were 3-D, nothing too too fancy. If it's not 3-D, are you still a pavement chalk artist, I wonder? Or are you just an artist who draws on pavements?

This 70s Disco Queen on stilts was a cute distraction on our way to the chalk drawings, there was a Brazillian Festival and a Turkish Festival on either side of the harbour.


It felt like Spring had skipped us by and we were right into Summer. It was a scorching 31C and I had, with great foresight, slapped on sunblock all over. If this is what Spring feels like, I think we'll be in for a really HOT summer.
