Today we decided to get out for a bit to enjoy the weather, get some groceries and exchange some xmas gifts in the CBD. We randomly came across a booth for the Sydney Festival 2013 which just happened to be starting today and runs till Jan 27th. Part of the opening ceremony was a man doing a 42km marathon on a treadmill alongside a dj, pyrotechnics and a group of dancers. Also, later that night there would be a free outdoor Soul concert. But what really perked our interest was talk about a giant 5 story high rubber ducky floating into Darling Habour to kick of the celebrations.
The duck symbolizes the global waters are our bathtub and to bring the joy and memories that you feel when you see a rubber ducky. (for us it bought back recent memories of Reena and her pithi bath :) )
Pics and news coverage below.
We're hoping to check out some of the other events over the next few weeks. The Ferrython looks fun: Ferrython
