1890's Streeton and Roberts, "pulled through the lazy green water
and lunched in the shade and in the open air"
to join their fellow artists under canvas
in camps set up by Hopkins and Ashton.
" 'Til matrimony claimed their souls."
“I shout and laugh at my immense wealth,
all free and without responsibility.
Who could steal this from me?
No one!” Arthur Streeton

The Heads, Sydney’s gateway to the world, have witnessed the parade of vessels as they voyaged to and from the distant world. ‘THROUGH THE HEADS to Balmoral, Sydney’ takes a nostalgic viewing point and is dedicated to all caretakers, past and present, of our magnificent harbour foreshores. Mosman Council is acknowledged for its demonstrated energy re the development and management of Balmoral, along with the vigilance of residents in their continued role of protecting and valuing many Mosman’s historical and cultural sites.
