busy with boats
boats in sydney harbour
advent candles (and ketchup)
xmas is weird in the southern hemisphere. it doesn’t get dark until 9pm and it’s very warm.
20 metre high santa
remember kids – he’s always watching
by the way, here’s the excellent talk from our church on sunday taking a slightly different look at the Christmas story. worth listening to for our pastor’s kiwi drawl alone !
incredible opportunity to be on youtube
i know what will get the crowds in to the food eating competition – we’ll tell them we’ll post their video on youtube. how exclusive is that ?
sydney tourist thing on a stick
i went up here, had a thoroughly miserable time and i even suspect their x-ray machine broke my big camera. highly unimpressed (literally). oh well. it was the only bad part of my trip.
saucy mannequin
if you’d told me about mannequins in new zealand before we emigrated i wouldn’t have believed you. but they are absolutely fantastic and get better by the day
this chap was selling snake oil magnetic therapy bandsand his armless cap wearing mannequin was ably demonstrating how they were to be worn.
sweet as
burger king in disguise
something strange happened to Burger King in Australia and they are called Hungry Jacks. there’s probably a reason for that. perhaps related to the Australian’s growing republican sentiment ?
high pedestrian activity
high pedestrian activity is a great phrase. makes me think of stoners.
but once i got past the drug image, i looked at the pictures themselves, and none of those strike me as particularly active.
so perhaps it’s a double bluff.
night roadwork ahead
good to see a sign in night time colours.
shifting a pile
i’m not convinced this chap’s skinny shovel is going to make much headway against that pile of dirt.
or perhaps he fired his arrow in to a sleeping blob and has gone to retrieve it.
go back !
good advice given the situation
some good signage
apologies for the numerous signage pictures this week. australia was full of boss signage
picture gives way to picture
is this meant to help people who can’t read ? if so, best to stick to all pictures or all words. otherwise it looks a bit like a top trumps card.
