One fine autumn day, we went bicycling at the Sydney Olympic Park and to our surprise, found that it was much more interesting than the sporting venues. There was a ship wreck area, where they sank ships that were too old to salvage, quite an extensive mangrove area, picturesque because it bordered the Parramatta River and a bird pond. There was some sort of vegetation that is rust in colour bordering the pond which made it all look unusually picturesque. There are bird watching huts for avid watchers as well.
In short, the landscape was interesting from a painter's perspective. One sunny Friday, I took my pad and materials and set off to see if I could incorporate a walk and some art. The mangrove was a no-no, since I was almost immediately attacked by mosquitoes. The bird pond was more fruitful. It is a serene spot, nobody was around on a Friday.
