Sadder still are the lack of roses within our concrete jungle. But spend a while getting to know the concrete, learning of the beautiful Romanesque revival and masonic Victorian free-Gothic buildings, with their colonnades, balustrades and cupolas, and perhaps the city will transform from a jungle into a garden. This Festival of steel and stone will open our eyes to all that is beautiful and hidden in Sydney next month and even the most hardcore functionalist-home dweller will find it hard to ignore.
