aboriginal

This guy was whoring himself and his CD
"It's just $10 folks, and if you want to come up and get your photo
taken, come on up"

He could play, but he never finished a song before peddling his wares.

Lady sitting next to the guy in the orange T, was having a moment
over the music.

She may have been 'touched'.

busker or jester? you decide!

This dude rolled up next to a whole bunch of us at an intersection on
Kings road, sat down, balanced the guitar on his head, then just
started playing.

Like, this is what you get up in the morning for?

sydney train stop

getting the train back into town

Sydney have 'borrowed heavily' from the London underground/tube.

bondi beach II

bondi beach I

bondi beach

lots of people out on surfboards, bugger all surfing actually taking
place, and no one on the beach, remember, it had been raining fairly
heavy.

a view from under the umbrella I was forced to buy

It was raining like crazy, and everyone in Sydney has an umbrella, so
I bought one too, and kept walking.

Glad I did too, got to ride the train, bus and see bondi junction and
beach.

The Wonder of Stevie.

I would, but I am just to tired now. I have just been walking around
for 5-6 hours and I am done.

*IF* Sydney had a hard rock cafe...

This would be were is was (top of the lower right, by the number 7) I
couldn't find it.
Suspect that it may not be there (yet|anymore)

painting the anchor II

this guy, has a suck job.

Here we have a gentleman cleaning the anchor of barnacles I expect.

He run his boat up to the mighty ship, connected rope to each corner
of his dingy, then they lifted him, and his boat up the side of the
ship.

Coming past later, it appears they may have *painted the anchor*.

Still people going hungry and sleeping in the streets people.

the same shot, perhaps a little clearer.

cool arty stuff

When rotated, the glass balls in the centre of the coils appear to
rise and lower up/down the coil.

Water reflections

Merry xmas tree

People enjoying end of week drinks.

I wonder if all the homeless people in the city had anything to
celebrate.

Awesome. Truly awesome.

an hour or two.
