"Lincoln Coffee Lounge is said to be the birth place of the "Sydney Push" movement in its early days, just after the war. A popular meeting place for artists & writers, it comprised a mixture of university students, lecturers, Bohemians & Libertarians."

ReplyDeleteWow! I'm an Australian lass and had never heard of this movement. I'm heading to Sydney next week so might even do a bit of 'Sydney Push' site seeing! Thanks so much for sharing.
