Bush goes to Sydney

Three of us Bushians went to Sydney over the Queen’s Birthday weekend, and boy did we get around.

One of our first stops was the Manly Sustainability Fair where we visited Red Earth Coffee, retailers of the Presso coffee machine. We helped do some demonstrations with the machine, a very green and unplugged way to make your espresso. After sipping a few sustainable Pressos we decided it was time to move on to a different kind of beverage—beer.

Bush is working on an article for BeanScene Magazine about the beer scene in Sydney (even a coffee magazine needs a little beverage variety). Combining the Bush techniques of chatting, writing, and guerrilla style photo-shooting we began to explore and document the pubs of Sydney. We met some lovely folks at the 4 Pines Brewing Company in Manly as we tasted some delicious homemade brews, and then we were off to the Lord Nelson Brewery in the Rocks to so some of the same.

And since we were in the neighbourhood, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to drop in on our good friends at Rockpool. We talked blogs and newsletters (their second newsletter was sent out yesterday) and set up a food photo shoot for our Bush photographer, Jon Sturge. Keep an eye out for Jon’s work popping up on the Rockpool website and the next newsletter.

It was a fun and productive Sydney trip. Go Bush go!
