Under the fig tree, Cremorne Point (Walk Pt 4)

Time for a lunch break, under a giant Port Jackson fig, overlooking Mosman Bay. Our American guests learn the secrets of the game of cricket - at this point, the importance of the ball's seams in spin bowling if I remember correctly.

Tree poisoning, Mosman Bay (Walk Part 3)

This huge sign has been erected where a tree has been destroyed. The sign directly faces a house. I wonder if the Council particularly wants the residents of that house to read the sign? We strongly suspect so. Destruction of trees by people complaining they 'spoil their view' have become more numerous . The aim of the signs is to block, or at least mar the view thus 'created'.

Curlew Camp, Little Sirius Cove (Walk Part 1)

The city, with Robertson's Point (Cremorne Point) and its lighthouse, from Curlew Camp on Little Sirius Cove, Mosman.

Let's take a walk on a beautiful sunny day, from Taronga Zoo Wharf to Cremorne Point, around Little Sirius Cove and Mosman Bay.

You can see a fantastic aerial shot of the route of the walk here: www.mosman.nsw.gov.au/file_download/712/CurlewCampArtistsWalk.pdf
In the 1890s, Curlew Camp was the haunt of artists Arthur Streeton, Tom Roberts and friends. Heavily influenced by French Impressionism, they set up their easels in the bushland and stayed in a fairly elaborate camp here on the shore of Little Sirius Cove.
