round here the parks have harbour buoys and anchor chains strewn over the grass tho plaques explain unmoored, our past sails on
Image: Port Kembla Maritime Park, I’ve been wanting to stop at this little neglected park for ages but it’s trapped between busy roads and across from the busy courthouse.
And for music, here’s Canadian world music ensemble Constantinople with kora maestro Ablaye Cissoko with their album Itinerant Gardens (YouTubers)
What else would one do with seafaring paraphernalia then scatter them about on the lawn. Eh? We do the same with anchors and a dory or two here and there. Love the music!

No wonder our past becomes such a stranger — who moved, we or it?

Our time would leave behind only plastic and trash… this is a welcome kind of history!

Glad you finally had a chance to check out the park. Neat piece of maritime history. We have pieces of war machinery (cannons, tanks, etc.) usually parked out in front of our VFW’s (Veterans of Foreign Wars.) The VFWs are where you can get real strong, cheap drinks, and decent fish dinners at a good price. Of course you have to be a member unless you know someone who will sign you in.
