The curves and crevices of the enigmatic Barangaroo formations in any light pops, sings and sparkles with the hot tropical colored flora posing magnificently.

Barangaroo from the air Photo: Infrastructure NSW, Barangaroo from the air in this early Aerial 2015 Moving through the gardens, we come across the Burrawang steps which are positioned at one of the entrances. Burrawang is the aboriginal name for a local Cycad plant which was known as a poisonous plant known to the local people who knew how to extract the poison. The plant was used to make starch which involved soaking it in saltwater directly before eating. This process possibly took up to two days. Le Bokeh Dianella Shot at ƒ/8 Photo: Cullen Pope, ƒ/8 1/640 90mm ISO3200 In the gardens of Barangaroo beautiful flowers abound throughout the year signalling various times to harvest: such as when certain species of fish are ripe for the gathering. Plants and trees also provide both shelter and shade for these activities. This bokeh image grasps the full extent of its beauty. When Cullen asks about the kinds of visitors to the reserve, Tim replies "We've had lots of schools, we've had lots of corporates, and we've had a few VIP days - we've had all types. Mainly locals, but we cater for everyone. We are part of the school curriculum. So we cover the curriculum from K from kindergarten to year 12. Salmon Flush Hues of Salmon A rainbow of color sequences from yellows and purples to mossy greens transition down to the sea line and become a feature of the unique human-made tessellations.

Excavating the cove uncovered a lot of artifacts. Többi Sandstone in time Sandstone glistens and gleams when wet and worn wonderfully by the elements of earth, wind, and water which reveals the remnants of time over 200 million years ago. Cratered and weather-worn these structures evoke notions of histories and peoples who have walked across this ancient rockscape. Photo: Cullen Pope, 550D ƒ/8 1/4000 90mm ISO3200 Tim adds, "Part of the colonial history also discovered, was when they even dug up the first boat launching slipway in Australian history. So you can actually see 1827 concrete. And that's where the boat launching was happening. It's called Munns slipway." Nectarous Some sandstone blocks almost look like the Eastern dessert, halva, with its layered sediment lines sweeping through the structures. Brilliant browns, deep reds, and fiery Ochre - hues that have been created over time by the wind. Photo: Cullen Pope, ƒ/8 1/2500 55mm ISO3200 "Entering the cutaway, we learn of its 18,000 square meters in area, including 6,500 meters of floor space. 93% of the sandstone we can see at the reserve came from underneath here that appears around the park. And there's two levels of car parking - 300 car park spaces and another level of a storage water tank, and a basement system, which recycles water from as caught from the 90,000-liter rain tanks of each of those towers."

The importance of exercise for students during study breaks: After a good 12 weeks of long, hard study, the summer break is a great time to improve your mental and physical health.
