The Rocks, Christmas tree
The Rocks Christmas tree is located along George Street, outside the Museum of Contemporary Art. "A Flock of Christmas Colour" is a 10 metre living evergreen coniferous cedar that features a flock of 25 native birds. The cockatoos, rosellas and rainbow lorikeets were created by Madeline Fountain using recycled street banners. The other hanging decorations are waratahs, the floral emblem of New South Wales. Merry Christmas.
It is a great photo to see on christmas eve.

What a delight.
ReplyDeleteSee? We can do native birds very well :)
Enough pretending we all live in frozen, northern Europe.
Enough cultural cringe!
Little unusual for me to see a christmas tree with a bright blue sky (warm day?) , but I love that it is decorated using recycled materials.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a particularly hot day.
DeleteHow beautiful, Jim. Is the tree also native to Australia?
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a wonderful Christmas season.

It is easy for those of us in the northern hemisphere to forget that it is summer in Australia!
ReplyDeleteThe weather here in northern California has been a bit chilly for us, though to someone in (for example) Duluth, Minnesota, the weather here would seem to be a veritable heat wave. E-mail some of that Australian warmth up north, please!
All best wishes to you, Jim - and thank you for your kind words about «Louis'» Christmas post...
"a flock of Christmas colour" indeed!
