Flying Pig
Precinct is located in the main shopping block, on Alexandra Street,
at Berry, South of Sydney.
By car we are
about 1.5 to 2 hours drive from Sydney and about 3 hours from Canberra
(via the Illawarra Highway).
By train the
journey is a bit longer (about 3 hours from Central). The South
Coast line runs through the Royal National Park (the oldest national
park in the world). You will most likely change trains at Kiama (same platform).
After Kiama you'll be travelling on some real historic rail systems
- single line working with electric staff. The countryside is beautiful
as you race in your little train between the seaside and the escarpments.
Alight at Berry and walk along Alexandra Street. (The wonderful
lemon smell near the station comes from a stand of old lemon gums
planted in commemoration of Australians lost at war.)
Cross Queen
Street and you're a hop step and a jump away. Look out for the old
building with a veranda onto the street. It's painted the colour
of the Illawarra flame tree (red/orange) with a dark purple shopfront.
Inside the gallery is
the "Flying Pig" - a sculpture by artist
Daniel Jenkins.
Flying Pig Precinct
is open Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 10am to 4pm. Closed Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
