Archibald etc

It  was such a beautiful clear day  I decided to go into Sydney on my fantastic Seniors Card. You have to be 60 and not work more than 20 hours a week so I am the only one in this family who qualifies. It means you can travel all over the place, by trains, busses and ferries for only $2.50.
  So I went walking around a bit once I got into the city and then to the NSW Art Gallery where they have a portrait competition every year called the Archibald prize. The first-prize portrait this year was a faceless figure, not a traditional portrait, and there were lots of other fantastic  pieces. I have to go back.

On the way back to the train station I came across this nice and inviting sign, the opposite of what you usually see in parks otherwise.
