G'day Charley (and al ... ;-)...0,

Myself, I'd walk the ~ 2½ kilometres (~ 1½ miles) from Bellevue Street, Glebe, to the Loaded Dog in Johnston St, Annandale ... but that's because the two are "way points" along my daily 6 km walk home! (For you: NW in Bellevue, left into Lyndhurst St - Bridge Rd - Right into Minogue Cres - Left into Wigram Road - Right into Booth St - Left into Johnston St and along to the Annandale Community Centre ... But you'll probably drive!)

Margaret lives just round the block from the studio in Darlington - lovely little terrace house, but not roomy (Well, she has run a few small house concerts there!).

It's a pity you're not out here a bit earlier ... in crisp, comfortable weather of our late winter ... There will be an informal gathering next week resulting from a Melbourne-based crew coming up to help inaugurate night-time sailings of the restored James Craig (salvaged from the southern tip of Tasmania ... where I saw her derelict in 1966 ... and restored to full sailing glory) from Darling Harbour. Robert Brook, one of the Melbourne lot also plays Anglo concertina - as does Gavin, who is doinmg so in a photo, with some more of the crew, on this year's A-K Sydney 'phone directory. We decided this was great chance to draw together some concer-squeezers in one of the nearby establishments and that looks like it will be fun.

Regards,

Bob
