'From My Camp'  Arthur Streeton 1896

Great music for a walk around our foreshores or on a  desert island.

"I shout and laugh at my immense wealth, all free and without responsibility.  Who could steal this from me?  No-one"  Arthur Streeton

(The wonderful thing about these two images is that with about a century between them.) 

This foreshore walk has it all - spectacular views to the city, natural bushland, history: with places to linger and imagine how it was for the young men at the Artists' Camps.  

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"

My walk took me here to the same spot this week.  

(More about these camps - P37 Through the Heads to Balmoral, Sydney and Mosman Meanders & foreshore flavours)

Piano Concerto No. 21, Andante (Elvira Madigan)  ...  much loved Mozart piece

Sirius Cove, the closest harbour beach to home, is the beginning of a fabulous walk around the foreshores to Taronga Zoo.  A walk such as this inspired 'Mosman Meanders & foreshore flavours' and still does, with its rich history and natural beauty.  

Our foreshores beckon
