Eucalypts covered in new growth. The banksia serratas’ seed pods burst open after the fire and seedlings are popping up everywhere. But the bush is still largely silent of birdsong. #australianbushfires #climatecrisis #banksiaserrata

BLACKWATTLE CREEK FROM DARLINGTON TO THE BAY, GADI

BLACKWATTLE CREEK FROM DARLINGTON TO THE BAY, GADIGAL LAND Part 5 of 5
Now the creek’s path is visible - Blackwattle Lane is just the capped creek bed. Past the gated vehicle-way through the council depot, into Wentworth Park to the water. This is the end. Once, marshy mangrove flats rich with eels and shellfish lay here. The Gadigal came regularly before their land and waterways were stolen, and afterwards, too, until industry poisoned the creek. Now, the creek is a heritage-listed brick drain. But if I walk a block from my home, I can still hear its gurgling passage. #daleharding #doitaustralia #doitaroundtheworld #kaldorpublicart @kaldorpublicart @hansulrichobrist #gadigalland

In another curve so uncharacteristic of these densely gridded streets, the creek crosses Cleveland Street through a grove of water-loving paperbark trees and heads along Buckland Street, cool and dim year-round. Look at Broadway where Buckland Street joins it. A crack in the tarmac runs clear across the eight lanes, drawing the creek. It goes between two buildings, the gap camouflaged by a fence and hoardings. #daleharding #doitaustralia #doitaroundtheworld #kaldorpublicart @kaldorpublicart @hansulrichobrist

The creek’s path now goes under a building that floods every winter and needs fans to dry the carpet, then through a carpark and under a wooden walkway. Hidden here is a dripping sandstone wall, ferns, and a drain with the sound of rushing water. Through another carpark, across a small, perpetually green lawn. Now the creek leaves the university and heads down Boundary Street, whose odd angle off Shepherd Street reveals the creek-bed’s path and whose name reveals the creek’s old demarcating role. #daleharding #doitaustralia #doitaroundtheworld #kaldorpublicart @kaldorpublicart @hansulrichobrist

Next, the creek flows under the massive new concrete buildings built to house international students. Before they went up, the daycare centre stood there. Its yard used to flood too, delighting the toddlers with a lake after heavy rain. The creek then crosses the street bisecting the University of Sydney. Here it secretly waters a giant Sydney blue gum. The dip in the road that’s always damp goes unnoticed. #daleharding #doitaustralia #doitaroundtheworld #kaldorpublicart @kaldorpublicart @hansulrichobrist

Once you know where to look, the creek reveals itself. It begins its invisible journey down a cool damp pathway between homes at the beginning of King St. Then the creek crosses into a corner of the Darlington Public School playground that floods every winter. A couple of dads will put down their kids’ backpacks, shoo the children away and shovel up leaves and dirt. The will of water to follow its path. #daleharding #doitaustralia #doitaroundtheworld #kaldorpublicart @kaldorpublicart @hansulrichobrist

Have not felt the need to embroider since I was 9, but this small contribution to the #nellannequilt quilt project by @nellartist for @mccahonhouse was super therapeutic. I got to spend quiet time thinking about my extraordinarily resilient and fun mum Judy, in lockdown in NZ, while also using a sharp implement to tell the patriarchy to go fuck itself. Win win. #australianwomenartists

There are sourdough cultures out there that are more than a century old. You preserve them by feeding and sharing them. Words to live by right now. Thanks @suzypickles for sharing yours with me. It’s fabulous. #triggeringmyinnerprepper #staythefuckhome
