Portraits, ferries, fish and chips, memories

This morning we visited the Art Gallery to view the Archibald Prize exhibition. As usual we preferred another portrait to the one that was declared the winner. All four of us preferred both Love Face by Vincent Fantauzzo  and Dr Catherine Hamlin AC by Sally Ryan to Del Kathryn Barton's portrait, Hugo.

Then we took the ferry to Manly where we walked the Corso from the Cove to the beach. Lunch was take away fish and chips eaten on the beachside promenade.

Tonight we saw The Seekers in concert for their 50th anniversary at the State Theatre. They performed for nearly two hours plus interval and that familiar Judith Durham inspired sound is still very evident. The packed audience of mostly seniors lapped it up. The concert was enhanced with vision of the group's live and taped performances over the years.

Unsurprisingly the concert drew a standing ovation at it's conclusion.
