See off Karla Dickens: Rise and Fall with a celebratory afternoon at the gallery.  As part of the festivities we will be screening Two Bob Mermaid (1996) by Darlene Johnson at 2pm.  As Romaine Moreton writes (for the National Film and Sound Archive): Two Bob Mermaid is the directorial debut of Darlene Johnson. It is the story of Koorine (Carrie Prosser), a fair skinned Indigenous girl who ‘passes’ – allowing people to think you are white. Koorine dreams of becoming a famous swimmer. The title of the film refers to Esther William’s film Million Dollar Mermaid, a 'two bob’ mermaid creating a correlation between class and dreams. In order to achieve her dream Koorine lets the townspeople think that she is white so that she can gain access to the local swimming pool from which Aboriginal peoples are banned. Two Bob Mermaid is visually stunning, and Johnson manages to tell quite a political story through the eyes of a child, whose innocent tendency to dream is restricted by the political restrictions imposed upon Aboriginal people during the period the film is set (1950s). The banning from swimming pools was a reality for Indigenous people up until racism was outlawed in Australia. Dr Charles Perkins during the Freedom Rides of 1967 encouraged Indigenous people to fight the bans. Indigenous peoples were made citizens of this country after the 1967 referendum.

如果你喜歡鬱金香,不要忘記在悉尼的鮑瓦爾南部高地停留。在去那裏之前一定要注意鬱金香季節的日期。

從唐人街免費接送,1.5-2hr乘坐到天空潛水位置。到達後,將被要求查看表格,如果想獲得照片套餐。接下來會等待被調用,有很多ppl waitijg要跳,它在7組,所以我們只是等待,直到他們調用ur的名字來通知你是否是下一個。我是最後一個小組,所以不得不在1.5-2hrs周圍等待。無論如何,我們需要等待每個人完成,以便公共汽車離開。教練非常友好!但他們跳過跳,所以很快就轉身了。15mins van騎到&ldquo;機場&rdquo;,看安全視頻再上飛機。飛機騎約10-15mins,天空潛水體驗快快,5mins下地面。我的教練不錯,讓我玩把手左轉右轉。非常酷和不錯的體驗,一定會再做一次!

藍色海洋路是一條很舒服的小地方，海洋路上也可以體驗到一下不錯的小內容，沿着道路一直遊玩也是一個選擇，早上的時候很清靜，沒有太多的人，也是很乾凈的樣子呢。

作為南半球最大的廟宇，南天寺坐落在美麗的卧龍崗，離開悉尼大概2個小時不到的路程，天氣良好，拍出來照片也很美，藍天白雲！禮佛完畢在一樓的面吧用點素齋，賣相很好，像葷的，口味也很不錯，從悉尼出發，一天來回時間還是比較充裕的，值得一游！
