Lunch at the MCA

After seeing 'Maori Boy Genius' Cs and I wandered around the Quay for lunch at the Terrace Cafe in the new extension to the Museum of Contemporary Art.

I've mentioned previously it is a great location for a casual, reasonably priced meal or coffee break. Here are some snaps from today.

The Harbour Bridge to the north
The 'Toaster' buildings to the East
The Opera House and the 'Toaster' to the North-East
The East entrance
The arrow marks the spot
The inscription on the ground below the arrow reads;

IN THE LOCH
BLOOD STRICKEN
TIME HIDDEN LAY LOST
UNDER THIS PLACE OF BIRTH
UNDER YOUR MIND LIES A TUNNEL
UNDER THIS STONE SALTY DARKNESS
FORGOTTEN PLACE OF DOCKS AND SHIPS

  1. The sky is blue. I have not seen a blue sky for a long time.

  2. Cool...I immediately recognised the the lines on the arrow and did a search and found out that it is an artwork by an aboriginal artist by the name of Brook Andrew. The piece is called Warrang.
