Thursday morning, 6:55am – Bob The Goat trots into our goat-deprived lives, thanks to the power of good old fashioned broadcast radio. In all the excitement, I almost forget my commitment to the West Brunswick Sculpture Triennial. I’m supposed to make a pennant to commemorate the festival!
Friday night, 10:30pm – at Kylie and Damien’s place, Lisa and I set up a little fuzzy-felt sheltered pennant-making workshop. With sharp scissors flashing, the corner of my tongue sticking out of the side of my mouth, and the help of some stinky craft glue, I put together the goaty pennant you see hanging proudly alongside its buddies in the photo above. (The reverse side says, simply, BOB).
(I was quite pleased with this craftily constructed artwork, especially given that I only began making it just before midnight, and after consuming a few glasses of a very good wine Damien cracked open. However, I cannot take all the credit – a big shout out to this website, from which I pinched the basic goat-face formula…)
Saturday afternoon, 3:30pm – under the hanging pennants, at 135 Union Street, West Brunswick, a tribe of goat enthusiasts gather expectantly to await Bob’s arrival. We’re about to start the Great West Brunswick Goat Walk!

this email came through from Perdy Phillips, in Perth. She recently organised a sound project called "strange strolls":
Hi There
Today [17 Dec 2005] is the last day of the strange strolls sound and walking art
project at the Moores Building Contemporary Art Gallery, Henry Street
Fremantle, Western Australia.This project saw 16 Australian and international artists create sound
walking tours of Fremantle. The viewer/listener hired a standard CD
Walkman from the Gallery and headed out into the streets of the West End.
Audiences were taken away from the everyday by the sound experience
created. The 14 different sound walks were extremely varied. Some
artists lived locally and their works reflected personal connections to
place. Others had never been south of the Equator. Central to the project
was the differences created between what you hear and what you see: the
imaginative journeys undertaken extended the experience of the body and
made the streets living, luminous and imbricated.For more details see http://www.perditaphillips.com/
For those of you who could not make it you can purchase a catalogue at
http://www.lethologicapress.org/Also, a big thank you to everyone who assisted with the project during
the last three years.Perdy

"What makes a place interesting? How do we relate to it, and why — especially if we come from somewhere else? How do they become familiar or strange? These questions are what Parramappa is all about. Young people from refugee and newly arrived migrant backgrounds wandered Parramatta, taking photos and writing stories about different places.
