White Rabbit Gallery Ultimo Sydney

White Rabbit Gallery is a great little gallery in the heart of Sydney. Specialising in contemporary Chinese art its three floors are full of amazing works from paintings and sculptures to surrealist works. Entrance is free and with a cafe on site, specialising in Chinese teas and dumplings, there are refreshments available once you finish your tour.

Suspended from the atrium roof is the most stunning work, consisting of life-size people with dragonfly heads and wings. This amazing sight greets you on entering. A great view of this artwork is available from the ramp up to the second level, which is a great perspective.

Access to the second floor is via a ramp which passes close to the dragonfly men. Alternately you can use an elevator which also goes to all floors (it is the only access to floor 3), but we enjoyed the view of the art work while walking up the ramp..

During our visit there was a great variety of paintings on display on the first two floors and floor three was filled with a single, large sculpture.

There are also small rooms on the first two floors where audio visual displays are running.

Sculptures in the Scrub Coonabarabran

First Lesson Sculptures in the Scrub Pilliga Stae Forest Coonabarabran www.destinationsjourney.com

Sculptures in the Scrub is located in the Pilliga State Forest to the north of Coonabarabran. The road in is dirt and when we went was badly corrugated. Be careful of the road conditions with respect to your type of car as it may be dangerous in the wet. There are two section to this walk. The first follows the top of the ridge where the sculptures are located, while the second winds around the base and then leads back to the car park (you can get a different perspective of the sculptures from the bottom level).

Five artists have work displayed here in a unique bush environment, with each piece taking advantage of its natural setting to enhance its beauty. As you walk along the bush tracks, you come across each sculpture in turn.

Each sculpture has an information board detailing its meaning and significance to the local aboriginal people.

The bronze of the aboriginal man and child can also be viewed from the base of the escarpment, giving you a second perspective on this sculpture.

Kurri Kurri Murals Hunter Valley New South Wales

Kurri Kurri Murals and Street Art

For an enjoyable few hours you can wander around the Hunter Valley town of Kurri Kurri and enjoy the over forty murals that have been painted on the town’s buildings.

We did the walk early on a Sunday morning, when there were few other people around. The tourist information and coffee shop were open though, so we did get our morning fix. Parking was easy in the main street and most of the murals are available either on, or just off Lang Street.

By following the local tourist map, we did not miss any in the town centre.

Kurri Kurri Buildings

The walk was very easy and on the trip, you get to see some of Kurri’s other interesting sites. There are two hotels on the main Lang Street, the Kurri Kurri Hotel and the Chelmsford. The Chelmsford looks like it needs some attention, but the Kurri Kurri looks very nice.

On our walk around we ran across the Masonic Temple.

Kurri Kurri Rotary Park

In the centre of town, you will find the Rotary Park. This contains the Big Kookaburra, the Miner’s Memorial and the War Memorial. The miner’s memorial commemorates all miners killed in the local coal mining industry. There is also a commemoration of the miners at Hill 60 near Ypres in World War One. We have visited this in our recent European trip and it was great to see this in the miner’s home town.
