Today was a beautiful warm day so it was perfect day to jump on the bike and see what was going on in the Rocks.

The Rocks markets were not particularly exciting so I went around the corner a little into the botanic gardens. There were small groups of people making all sorts of stuff all over the park, it was the Sydney Ikebana association 80 year festival.

Ikebana is traditional Japanese flower arranging, but they use all sorts of materials to get some really cool large scale sculptures as well. It looked like a lot of fun.
