Default Sydney pics because I'm not in the Army

You want excitement?







Or drama?







Or perhaps you want companion animals:





Or even flowers:





All noticed around here since Friday, without going much out of my way.

You meet the darnedest people at a University of Sydney social function:



The university offers interesting jobs, even for labourers:



Life can be occasionally perilous here: snakes must be avoided:



And companion animals can turn out to be deeply suspicious of you:



It's been raining for days but on the way home I picked up a Turkish pide.



More here.

Jeez, LN, you ought to move here for much more fun. If you want to leap to your death, forget Iraq, this is the place. They say it's a wonderful view on the way down:





On the other hand if you want to settle down with a few friends and a pint of Tiger, this is the place; if you hang around on a Sunday arvo there is jazz and blues:





Then again, if companion animals calm your soul, try these:





And if you are feeling rebellious, what better than this ($5):

Not really, Gilles. You just walk around here and notice stuff. Unlike fish, did you know that people rot from the knees down?



And of course, young thugs are everywhere:
