What a gas shindig…! Around 600 revellers, friends and supporters rolled up to the Museum of Sydney last night to celebrate the opening of Surf City, crowding out the joint and filling the place with fun and enthusiasm. Good time to reflect on how many fantastic people I’ve met over the past 2 years, who’ve got behind this amazing project and offered insights, advice and guidance, along with a staggering list of cool objects, pics, footage and surfing treasures – some of which have ended up on display. Time also to reflect on the huge contribution made by our exhibition design and production team, our retail unit, our marketing and media folk, our collection management team and our nifty screen media geeks – all of you did an exceptional job and have been a pleasure to work alongside.
Thanks for inviting us to the opening night. We had a great time and just loved all of it. Great job!! I think I’ll have to come back for a 2nd visit in the near future.

thanks for the great comments Ron – glad you finally made it to MOS – taking photos for personal use is fine. Have you mentioned it to Pearl…?
