Ethnic Map

I live in Ultimo, in the city fringe. This area unfortunately suffers from, amongst others, spitters and rubbish dumpers, which is rather tragic for someone who emanates from a country which considers these practices abhorrent.

We would all like to see multiculturalism succeed but, realistically, this is an impractical ambition based on romantic idealism. It’s nice to call Sydney the “melting pot”, but is it, really? Let’s face it, it’s more like a fractured mosaic, the way I see it.

Thank you for letting me have details of your website for the Ultimo community. It was much appreciated – congratulations – it is important that Ultimo has its own community group – pls keep me informed of any new developments. It was unacceptable that Council disbanded the Precinct Committee whatever disagreements there may have been – everyone begs to differ on occasions. However having experienced the ineffectual info sessions at Pyrmont for some years now has made me aware of the importance of community involvement.

I believe you are aware that we now have the Pyrmont Action group – the convenor is Elizabeth Elenius and I have forwarded your email on to her for her information. Again my thanks.

Best wishes
Debra Berryman
