How many Seahawks related pics can I make in one week? This is the 12th man flag at my cubicle at work. As you can see, Qwest Field stands in the background. The 12 is also significant for another reason... it's the 12th day of my Project 365.
Central is a heritage-listed railway station located in the centre of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The station is Australia's largest and busiest railway station, and is a major transport interchange for NSW TrainLink inter-city rail services, Sydney Trains commuter rail services, Sydney Metro services, Sydney light rail services, bus services, and private coach transport services. The station is also known as Sydney Terminal (Platforms 1 to 12). The property was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999. It recorded 85.4 million passenger movements in 2018 and serves over 250,000 people daily.
Central station occupies a large city block separating Haymarket, Surry Hills and the central business district, bounded by Railway Square and Pitt Street in the west, Eddy Avenue in the north, Elizabeth Street in the east and the Devonshire Street Tunnel in the south. Parts of the station and marshalling yards extend as far south as Cleveland Street, and are located on the site of the former Devonshire Street Cemetery.
History
There have been three terminal stations in Sydney.
First Sydney terminal
The railway arrived in New South Wales in 1831. Proposals began in the 1840s for a railway linking Sydney and Parramatta, with an eastern terminus close to the Sydney city centre.
Although the Sydney Railway Company first applied to the government for four blocks of land between Hay and Cleveland streets in 1849, the Surveyor General favoured Grose Farm, now the grounds of the University of Sydney. It was further from the city and less costly to develop. The company finally exchanged land in the first, second and third blocks, between Hay and Devonshire Streets, for an increased area of eight hectares (twenty acres) in the fourth block, the Government Paddocks, between Devonshire and Cleveland Streets. Hence, the site of the first Sydney railway terminus was located here from 1855.

Excursion and Lunch with Chef Kealoha Domingo
Back by popular demand! Kamehameha Schools exemplary tour of a native Hawaiian ahupua'a, an ancient land division that runs from the mountains to the sea, was so well received at last year’s Festival that guides and Hawaiian cultural practitioners Rick Barboza and Kapaliku Schirman of Hui Kū Maoli Ola and Hi'ilei Kawelo of Paepae o He'eia have graciously agreed to join us again. This year, as you journey to 800-year-old Hawaiian agricultural sites in the Ko'olau mountains and the shoreline of Kane'ohe Bay, opportunities for hands-on learning abound. Cultural practitioners will guide you in the art of dry taro pounding, and techniques for preparing poke, awa and steamed moi. The excursion ends with a delicious taste of He'eia's rich bounty prepared by chef Kealoha Domingo.

The Think Tank That Has Yet To Be Named
As of 5.19.12
The Think Tank That Has Yet to Be Named adapts the ecological model of forest succession in order to explore the ways in which cities change over time through a cyclical process of growth, stagnation, disaster, abandonment and revitalization. Visitors to the project are invited to play with a physical manifestation of the urban succession model and consider their own city and neighborhoods in light of this analytical framework.

The Blessings
This is the marble altar in St John's Cathedral in Brisbane. There'd have to be at least six different kinds of marble that went into making that thing, if not more. It's absolutely magnificent!
