Over 70 works including prints, artist’s books, sketchbooks and printing plates from across Peter Kingston’s career are on display, in a moving tribute to the late artist.
Peter Kingston (1943–2022) lived and worked at the edge of Sydney Harbour. After a childhood spent at Parsley Bay, he settled in Lavender Bay among a community of artists and friends. From there, he observed harbour ferries, Luna Park and the Sydney Opera House in all seasons and weather. These were the subjects of his work, often incorporating his boat, the MV Anytime, and his dogs.
Kingston’s output ranged across drawing, printing, painting and filmmaking. A passion for Sydney, for environmental conservation and the preservation of built heritage never left him. Joyful, charming, and with a wry humour, his work celebrates the everyday aspects of our city. Yet there is a bittersweet element to his work. Peter Kingston often talked about ‘time as an artist’, his way of recognising the beauty and value that accumulates with age. His work captures things at risk in a world that is always upgrading, and expresses a nostalgic yearning for those places and characters now lost.

Sydney Opera House (Sydney Opera House) is one of Australia&#39;s most iconic buildings, not only an iconic building in Australia, but also attracting countless tourists to visit. The Sydney Opera House is located in the capital of Sydney, NSW, at Benilang Point, surrounded by the sea on three sides, echoing the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The Sydney Opera House&#39;s exterior design looks like a erected shell and two white sailboats, so it is called the &quot;Sailing Roof Theatre&quot;. Three large shell-like structures stand on the base of the cast-in-place reinforced concrete structure, and the surface of the shell is covered with white lattice magnetism, shining in the sun. The Sydney Opera House is Australia&rsquo;s performing arts hub, hosting performances of up to 3,000 times a year, attracting a wide range of artists and audiences. As one of the landmarks of Sydney, it attracts millions of tourists every year and is one of the important tourist attractions in Australia. In 2007, the Sydney Opera House was approved by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee as a cultural heritage in the World Heritage List.

Great aquarium Just on the edge of the port, there is a safari park on the side to buy a ticket online and scan the code directly to enter the scene. It is very convenient to see the manatee for the first time! It is worth a visit, about two hours to finish shopping!
