Lavender Bay

We were talking about doing with Nick and Beatrice about doing the 70s but there's way too much work to do that.

So we decided to just do the Fiji bit, what we have of it, and then arriving in Australia and, of course, finding Lavender Bay.

And Lavender Bay is literally the reason we stayed in Australia.

We just fell in love with Lavender Bay, and it is still, you know, a very special place.

And we stayed, and, you know, life went on from there.

So after this show, you'll get some more of the 70s when the next exhibition...

Something about this photograph coming back into Australia, you do look like bohemian rock stars, bohemian art stars.

You've got that wonderful sense in your clothes, your glasses, the shell hanging around Brett's necklace.

The reception...

So we're recording this in our studio at Working in Lavender Bay, and the reception came up and they gave me this package, and it was really heavy.

I thought, "What is this?" Like, has someone sent me a cassette? Like, it felt like one of the old cassette players, but it was heavy and in an odd shape.

I thought it was, like, one of those sort of round-type Walkmans.

Yeah, it was amazing.

I went kayaking there in Lavender Bay last week.

It's just gorgeous.

Oh, maybe if we had more time, I would actually be so happy.

Now, uh, yeah, I've used a manmade example, the chair, but the tree.

Tree's a better example, right? Right? You, you got the tree growing down here on Lavender Bay or whatever, and it's probably growing quite nicely, gets a little bit of breeze, all that, right? But there might be the same type of tree growing in the Blue Mountains, and it's thriving better, right? It's got more roots for, more room for its roots to grow.

It's got fresher air, all of those kind of things.

And then you've got a tree that's stuck out in the, uh, out between the concrete buildings down here somewhere.
