Sydney International Boat Show

Sydney International Boat Show – 2nd to 6th August 2018

If you like boats or are just boat curious you must go to the Sydney International Boat show. They will be big ones, small ones and some floating palaces for you to see. This is an opportunity to nautically profound "It is not that life ashore is distasteful to me. But life at sea is better." ― Sir Francis Drake. Just stay anchored. :)

James Cameron is challenging the Deep at the Australian National Maritime Museum

The oceans are perhaps surprisingly mostly unexplored. We know more about Mars than we do about what lies beneath the sea . Fortunately we have people like James Cameron who are prepared to test the boundaries of technology and human endeavour.

Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes – Art Gallery of NSW

The Archibald Prize is for the best portrait of the rich and not so rich famous celebrities. There are usually lots of politicians, no doubt there will be a few Trumps, sports people, artists, could anyone whose face most people would recognise. Looking forward to seeing a Trump with a Mueller – could become internationally famous. The People’s Choice award give us all the chance to vote.
The Wynne Prize is for the best landscape and the Sulman Prize is for subject painting. Can’t wait for this year’s exhibition, I have feeling it’s going to be something extraordinary.
