Cape Tourville Lighthouse (Tasmania)

I found these old photos of the Cape Tourville Lighthouse in Freycinet that I took in Tasmania in n 2015. What a stunning setting for a lighthouse.

Cape Tourville Lighthouse is an active lighthouse. First exhibited on 17 November 1971, it replaced the Cape Forestier Lighthouse on the inaccessible Lemon Rock. The round concrete tower is 11 metres high, with the light positioned 126 metres above sea level and a nominal range of 18 nautical miles. It was designed as an automatic lighthouse, so it was never staffed by resident keepers, and it is now operated by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. Lighthouses of Australia

White Rabbit Gallery

Yesterday Xenia and I visited the White Rabbit Gallery in Chippendale, and I absolutely loved it. Founded in 2009 by philanthropist and art collector Judith Neilson, the gallery grew from her fascination with contemporary Chinese art and houses one of the world’s most significant collections of Chinese art made in the 21st century. The works are bold, strange, playful and often provocative, ranging across painting, sculpture, photography, video and huge installations. I particularly loved the sheer variety and the way so many pieces combined beauty and imagination. It’s one of those galleries where you genuinely have no idea what you’ll encounter in the next room — a wonderful discovery right in the heart of Sydney.
