Our foreshores remain in safe hands - thanks

'From my Camp' Arthur Streeton  1896 Art Gallery of NSW “I shout and laugh at my immense  wealth, all free and without responsibility.   Who could steal this from me?  No one!”    These are the words of Arthur Streeton, one of the young artists who escaped the depression in Europe in the 1890s and settled in Curlew Camp, one of the established camps around our foreshores, in order to explore their environment  and creativity.
Below is a photo of the same site, Curlew Camp, 120 years later. The point to be made here is that they look very similar and it's mainly because of the vigilance of residents, past and present, and the continuing role played by Mosman Council of valuing and protecting Mosman's historical and cultural flavour. I Photo – Christopher Maait "I would like to express my personal thanks to Mosman Council for its demonstrated energy re the development and management  of our magnificent foreshores. It's unlikely that a merged mega-council would have been as responsive or protective. I'm grateful for the support of the community especially all the work by my colleagues in MAFA re helping to keep Mosman independent."  Claire
