Customs House - Did you know...



Customs House is one of those awesome locations in the city that may get unfairly overlooked. There is so much to do here, it's perfect for a 'tourist' day or a working lunch hour. Just get to Circular Quay Station & it's a block before the water. There are plenty of reasons to check this place out.

The floor on the ground level is anything but ordinary. A miniature model of the Sydney city gives visitors a bird's eye view of all our beautiful landmarks. If you're a new tourist in town, this model will help clearly navigate and give the big picture of this sprawling city. Or if you're a local, see if you can spot your local hangouts in ant-sized form. What a perfect decoration to walk on every day!

A quiet secret library in Customs House is a cosy small home to historical reading rooms and convenient wi fi. Tucked away on levels 1 & 2, this library is barely advertised. So it's got the quiet loungeroom-vibe of a secret un-crowded chill out. Shhh, don't tell everyone...

Of course there are other goodies here, but the other 2 are my faves. The place has a function room, restaurant, & informative displays about Aussie industries. But nothing beats a tiny library in Customs House, that gets more quiet than the State Library. Bravo Sydney!

The Seekers Golden Jubilee

Image
Tweet The Seekers are celebrating a very special time in their lives, and including their fans in the festivities. Dudith Durham, Bruce Woodley, Keith Potger, and Athol Guy have been a band for 50 years. That's right, a Golden Jubilee means 50 years in show biz. Before we have a look at the latest media attention, here's a quick background into the world of Seekers tours. Judith Durham said on 60 minutes that they really had an easy career. Judith now realises she took for granted the instant TV coverage they received just a day after they arrived in England. Success welcomed the group whenever they wanted it. Judith then chose time off from the group for independence and to find her own identity. But the memory of The Seekers stayed with the public. And hence the later tours. Judith has continually been able to return to the group with the same support from fans ever since. Their 25th anniversary Silver Jubilee (when I was 4) sparked a decade of performances

It could be about dedicating some time on my blogs or online store. There is great freedom in doing something I have control over. These projects definitely will continue during my married life. Not only is it important to me, it is also something my husband encourages. We were both originally attracted to each other's abilities as much as our personalities. Personal projects can be either hectic or calm. I might be rushing to a deadline on a publication or campaign for someone else. Some of my own di
