Thursday 20 November 2008: Telopea Street East Redfern 2

I still have a couple that I took last Sunday, which was a mild morning with a weaker than normal light. One more over the fold…

Tuesday 18 November 2008: a friend’s fence

Redfern Visions 36: Redfern Oval and Park

Redfern visions 34: Little Eveleigh Street 2

Little Eveleigh Street has changed little since M and I lived there 17 years ago, though there have been quite a few changes in the area – more on that later.
