But it could be.
In Redfern Park
In the latest South Sydney Herald Adrian Spry contributes this on the back page.
Utopian Dream
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan…
On a drear early morning, mid-year and hand-numbing cold. Greyness seems juxtaposed upon grey. The morning mist shrouds the Waterloo towers, making them seem ceilingless. They seem to climb heavenward forever.

Friday poem 14: not really a poem!

July 09 South Sydney Herald
I have a particular interest in this, but the really big news in this issue is the front page story on the approval of the Pemulwuy Project in Redfern.
So here’s your copy of the paper: SSH_JULY_09 pdf
There’s a lot to read in the South Sydney Herald, and it isn’t all parochial; for example Laura Bannister [...]

Sunday Floating Life photo 25: Gordon Syron at South Sydney Uniting Church
There is currently an exhibition of Indigenous artist Gordon Syron at South Sydney Uniting Church.
Gordon does not paint dots. "My strength in painting is political", says Syron. "I use satire and raw imagery to send a message that Australian History has left out the Aboriginal people and their stories. Art is a way to convey [...]

June 09 South Sydney Herald
Yes, it’s now available.
We have a new issue of the SSH — with front-page stories on Redfern and Erskineville stations (staff cuts on the way?) + inner-city weekend markets (”more popular than ever”). There are also reports on a proposed “mega depot” in Rosebery, plans for an upgrade to Abercrombie Street, Christian anarchist Ciaron O’Reilly’s [...]

South Sydney: Pentecost 2009
We had the Tongans in today. The singing was wonderful.
It was a special day, though I missed the afternoon’s activities as I had Sunday Lunch at the Shakespeare with Sirdan and B2. That too was good.

April South Sydney Herald in colour
Nothing by me in this one, but it is a good issue and more than merely parochial. Here’s your copy. Later on I’ll be hand delivering “real” ones in this bit of Surry Hills.

March 09 South Sydney Herald out…
As you may see.
That’s my pic and story on the left (page 3) and the top left on the front page may also be familiar.
Can’t link to the paper’s site at the moment. I think it may be being redesigned.
Update
The SSH website is available again. It wasn’t being redesigned as yet. [...]

Instead of the Friday poem: Dorothy McRae-McMahon
From the liturgy prepared by Dorothy (right) in the past week.
Let us go from here
As the bush springs green again,
restoring its beauty to us as a gift,
as the seeds are broken open by the fire
for the beginning of new life,
and as we bring together all that is among us
for the future in this place:
Let [...]

Church of the holy bicycles…
Bicycles: one of three things Alison Clark notes about South Sydney Uniting Church in the latest print edition of Insights. The other two were: interesting assortment of pets (animals welcome) and “interesting assortment of people – diverse and colourful.”
In the online edition, the Moderator, who visited last year, noted:
So where have I experienced these [...]
