Down by the docks
Actually there aren't many docks here, or those bulky dock workers moving whatever needs to be moved onto ships. The only bulky people you'll see here are the builders making even more apartments for people to live in - and then again they use massive cranes and bulldozers and catterpillar things, so I guess they don't have to be as bulky - they just have to pull on those levers.
There are a range of interesting things at Docklands, and they are made even more interesting at night. I now realise that one good thing about winter getting dark early are the lights turning on at Docklands.
The darkness and the lighting give the sculptures and structures an ambigiouity. Is that really a bird, or a light? Straight lines or shadowy bends? Girl, or guy?
Just don't take a picture of that shady character that you walk past, or the camera might just be thrown into the water...

Stop them whalers
The Sea Shepherd's "Farley Mowat" has been docked near Telstra Dome for the past week or so. Good on them for trying to stop those whalers trying to eat other massive whales. They also have this cute plastic toy whale near their walking plank that the Japanese also try to eat.
Crazy Japanese... those teeth marks are hard to get out...
