True Blue Australia

I climbed the stairs, ascending out of the hot moist air of Town Hall Station into the relatively cool breezes of George Street.  A nervous woman in an orange vest and white hard hat was guarding a stack of boxes near the curb.  My attention was drawn to the labels on the boxes.

"Excuse me ma'am.  May I take a picture of these boxes?"

"No!" She barked with a voice that conveyed a lifetime of difficult interpersonal relations, "No you can't!"

I shrugged and climbed onto the waiting 435.  I settled myself into a window seat and tucked my video camers into the open window.

"Well, we'll just see about that!"



Too bad you can't read the labels.  They said:

No Problem Vomit Cleanup

And so the city prepares for the upcoming Australia Day festivities...

    I'll be heading into Sydney on Oz Day but will be returning home by late afternoon. So I should miss the 'drink tragics'. lol

    If you like veteran, vintage cars and American muscle cars, the NRMA is taking over Macquarie Street and the Hyde Park Barracks - there will be 1250 old cars on display along Mac and adjoining streets.
