23rd March 2023

Nine poets gathered at Sydney Park, St Peters, on a warm and sunny Thursday morning for the first ever Gadigal Ginko. Following brief introductions, we dispersed in different directions in search of haiku moments. Sydney park offered us a series of linked ponds, shady groves, open lawns, plenty of bird and insect-life, and even some autumn flowers. There were also many opportunities for dog- and people-watching, as well as plane-spotting. With rain forecast, we were fortunate that the good weather held for the whole time.

Reminder for Sydney-based poets: if you’d like to join the first Gadigal Ginko at St Peters on Thursday 23rd March, please register by 5pm Tuesday 21st March. Once you have registered with your contact information I will email you the meeting place details.
