October and November were busy months for the two of us, with Wanda snowed under with student examations and Alistair performing in several events. We were incredibly fortunate to be able to use a friend’s waterfront apartment in Walsh Bay’s Wharf 6/7 as a base in early October and late November, which was terrific as Alistair had five performances at the nearby Opera House (Beethoven 9th Symphony with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra) at the end of November.
We used the time wisely, exploring the Barangaroo area, swimming at Marrinawi Cove, a delightful harbour enclosure, and exploring The Rocks markets over the two separate weekends.
Wanda was able to attend the dress rehearsal of the Beethoven concert (tickets had sold out for all performances ages ago) and jumped on the Metro to get to the city for a flashmob event in Martin Place, where Alistair led the singers in a performance of John Farnham’s You’re the Voice for a domestic violence vigil.
During our staycations, we loved having margarita cocktails on the balcony, looking the Harbour Bridge in a variety of lights, and watching the gulls swirl around the pylons, feasting on the moths drawn to the floodlights.
