Logoi - Sydney Youth Orchestras


Such a vibrant logo which perfectly describes the vibrant energy of music-making youngsters.

I chanced upon their administrative HQ, as I wandered back along Cumberland Street in The Rocks, after the photo-making for my post of yesterday, about the Argyle Cut.

IU am not sure of the plural of "logo". It could be "logo", or "logos", or "logoi", or even "logi".

The Rocks - 138 Cumberland Street


This building could just be seen in the corner of yesterday's "ghost" building (thanks, Joan). It is far from the first building on the corner of Cumberland Street and Long's Lane (originally known as Maori Lane), having been constructed between 1880 and 1882. It has had a speckled history going from drapery, to butchery, to boarding house, to delapidated squat, to recruitment office. According to historian Grace Karskens, Longs Lane in the 1860s was far from sanitary, with seven cramped houses sharing one water tap.
