FOR MY WRITING FRIENDS...

Periodically along Circular Quay, bronze plaques are embedded in the walkway.   I remembered noticing them the last time we were here and so I looked up their purpose.  They are a series of 22 plaques honoring important Australian authors and a few non-Australians who had special ties to Australia such as D.H. Lawrence, Mark Twain and Rudyard Kipling.  Each plaque has the writer's name, a few details and a brief excerpt of his/her writing.  You can't help but notice them.  Here is the first one.
