Artlinks

Business

In the Artlinks section, experience the relaxing atmosphere of a walk around Paddington, Darlinghurst, Chippendale or Surry Hills in Sydney, where boutique galleries abound with local and overseas artworks. Traditional and contemporary paintings as well as Aboriginal art can be found in a tree-lined setting of quaint old English-style terrace houses. Some galleries offer art investment advice, and this can be as affordable as a few hundred dollars. Plenty of trendy cafes and old inner-city pubs offer light refreshment along the way.

Fine Arts is your direct link to Australian artists, and to local, state and national galleries. The Aboriginal Art page gives you access to the websites of Australian Aboriginal artists and their activities. Here you will find full accounts of their lives and artwork, as well as craft production in their local communities.

The page on Australian writing provides information for both readers and writers. There are links to Australian bookshops and publishers, as well as hints on the art of writing. There are also links for the lovers of Shakespeare, Byron, Dickens, Virginia Woolf, and Ruth Park to explore. Also included is a collection of short stories by Lesley Mellor (1944-2014), a local writer in Surry Hills.

Finally in this section of art links, there are pages for those interested in current fashions, in the field of craft and in the art of photography.

The Business section covers a wide variety of business and government topics, and provides a valuable information resource. The News and Finance page lists many Australian and overseas newspapers, Australian banks, share market information, and numerous financial planning sites.

The Property page has links to many local and national real estate agencies, as well as the businesses that assist in property purchases such as surveyors, and the Law Society for a listing of legal practices.

The Meanders section promotes the meanderings of both the body and the mind. The body’s meandering is catered for by numerous links to the attractions of Sydney and New Zealand, including accommodation and entertainment.

Similarly, the Referencing page helps you to find addresses and emails worldwide, the weather in all countries, the time around the world, and the interfaith calendar.

The mind’s meandering is facilitated by the Not the News page, where you will find links to a variety of humorous sites, sceptical sites, horoscopes, and the Burke’s Backyard gardening site.
