Ticket’d
Spotted out our window one cold winter night:
A drug bust? A shooting? International crime syndicate? Nah, just a P-plater getting a speeding ticket.

Where-house?
These were taken in January, after we picked up the keys but before our stuff had been moved in. By now I figure that those of you who can make it here to see our new home have, so these photos are for the rest of you.
The building is a converted warehouse from the late 1890’s. Until (I think) [...]
Stupid Software Tricks
Or, My Computer Was Possessed!
Last night I was following some blogs, and I found a link to a kind of rubbish photo sharing site. I won’t mention the name here, for reasons that shall become clear. It’s been around for a few years and has gone through some major rounds of publicity and then failed. It’s now into it’s [...]

Today was the 75th anniversary of the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. To celebrate, the bridge was closed to traffic and people were allowed to walk across. North to South. We were there for the walk, along with a lot of other people. No rabid, right-wing monarchists though…
An icon and engineering marvel like this is really all about the photos though, [...]
Hyde Park Needs These
I hear it was for the St Patrick’s Day concert on in the park last Saturday. I know it wasn’t actually St Patrick’s Day; it was moved because of the walk across the bridge. We’ll be at that. Expect more photos.
Mardi Gras!
The famous Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras was last weekend. And I mean famous in the real sense, not the St Kilda Rd sense. We live literally just down the road from the main parade route, so I wandered up there to have a look.
When we were telling friends from Canberra where our place was someone asked “Will you [...]
Zoo
I’m a big sucker for a zoo. I always loved the Wellington Zoo as a kid. It’s a small zoo, but I loved it. There are photos from when we went back in 2004. Like many of my holidays, I made sure we went to the nearest zoo.
When my family moved over to Australia in 1986, we stopped over [...]
Marching?
Dick Cheney came into Sydney yesterday and understandably people are upset the face of pure evil has arrived. So they marched past my window. Not sure why, I’m not Dick Cheney, or evil. But there you go.
And there were horses and everything!
I love living in the city. Wish I was better photographer though. Sorry about that first one.
It’s Just a Boat, People!
The Queen Mary 2 and the Queen Elizabeth 2 liners both visited Sydney this week. The QM2 only stayed for 18 hours, and 200,000 people went down to Woolloomooloo Bay to have a look.
It’s a big boat. Impressive, just like the traffic.
We stayed down there for awhile, watching the people, the bats leaving the botanics and the ships as the light slowly [...]
