Bouquet to Night at the Barracks. Amazing program and everyone loved the shuttle buses and little electric vehicles to and from the car parks.

Brickbat to National Parks & Wildlife Service for tying up the Les Sculpture Refuses at the Qstation in a mire of bureaucratic assessments and paperwork causing its cancelation at the last minute. Next year maybe.

Bouquet to Manly Library for hosting the excellent Zine Fair showcasing the the talents of our local young people.

Bouquet to Council workers for their ongoing maintenance of the park benches and tables along East & West Esplanade and the Manly beachfront.

Brickbat to the many who are responsible for the mess that is Darley Rd. The Ausgrid contractor is still endlessly digging. The bike lane up the hill is now a goat track. The pedestrian crossing at Ashburner St can hardly be seen and the surrounding area is a patchwork of bumpy surfaces. The list goes on. Starting from the 1988 heritage roundabout at Victoria St we need a Masterplan for the Darley Road Neighbourhood and entry to the magnificent North Head at Parkhill Archway.
