Last Wednesday we were in Sydney. It was a very enjoyable, sunny winter day. We went to Hyde-Park to eat our lunch which we had brought from home. Lots of people were enjoying themselves in the sunshine. How wonderful for office workers to be able to spend their lunch break in beautiful Hyde-Park right in the midst of the city! Heaps of tourists were around too, of course. People took photos of the sculptures around the fountain with St Mary’s Cathedral in the background. Peter and I we took quite a few photos as well. It was a lovely atmosphere with a bit of rather pleasant music provided by someone who had brought along some recordings.
All the sculptures looked just wonderful in the brilliant sunshine.
Yesterday, on Saturday, we went to Sydney again. The ASSOCIATION FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT had sent us an invitation for a free conference “Henry George: Social Philosopher or Tax Reformer?” at the Sydney Mechanics – School of Arts in Pitt Street. The conference lasted from 10am to 4pm.The speakers were Terry Dwyer, Professor Frank Stillwell, Richard Giles and Ronald Johnston.

I wish more people would get an understanding what Henry George’s philosophy and political economics is all about. It is all about how social justice could be achieved.

Thanks for this comment, Berlioz. I think it is going to take quite some time before people can achieve some kind of social justice.

Hallo, Gislinde, Wir halten uns immer ganz gern ein bisschen in der City of Sydney auf. Es gibt viele Anregungen. Bei euch ist es immer noch heiss und bei uns ist es immer noch ziemlich kalt. Wünsche dir auch eine gute neue Woche. Best wishes, Uta.
Wonderful, expressive photos. I especially liked the ones of the statues.
Yea, Robert, I think so too. The statues made wonderful subjects especially on that sunny winter day. 🙂
beautiful Sydney!
I agree, Inigo, the Hyde-Park in Sydney is a real beautiful place. 🙂
