"I live in Balmain, an incredible part of Sydney steeped in maritime history.I truly enjoy the words used in sailing and their interesting origins.There are loads of connections to sea and boats around Balmain.

White Horse Point - Elkington Park Balmain, called this for 2 possible reasons.One, Captain Thunderbolt road off to freedom after escaping and swimming to the aforementioned park from Cockatoo Island Prison and two, the white caps on the water off the point looked like white horses.I much prefer the first reason but the second is poetic for other reasons!

So this piece of music .. White Horse because when your sailing around Cockatoo island - you sometimes ride waves with white tops.This music feels like this sort of sailing.I hope you get a sense Balmain and White Horse Point when you are listening."
