I've enjoyed Sydney, pretty good looking city in places.. some good eating to be had too! Living in Melbourne I probably shouldn't have admitted to that.. :wasntme:
Caught the train from Hornsby to Circular Quay and the the ferry over to Manly on Sunday. $7.50 all up for the three of us using the Sunday family ticket. It was the first time my 4.5 year old had been on a ferry and she loved it.
We will be using the Sunday family tickets much more in future, you can travel from Dungog to Nowra and west to Goulbourn and Bathurst all for $2.50 each.
There were lots of families out and everyone was happy and courteous. Catching the train back from the quay was a problem as there was track work on the city circle and the trains were only running one way. It meant they were very crowded. The problem is that the trains are double decked and if you are only travelling a short distance or have a pram the standing area near the doors gets very crowded. Perhaps the trains should be like those in Japan with seats along the walls and lots more standing room, it makes it much easier to embark and disembark.
Still plenty in Redfern, mate. They own the block, or at least an aboriginal housing company does.Quote:

Not that thats a bad thing, except they are wholly up themselves, but thats probably more because they live in Rose Bay / Vaucluse than because they are from South Africa.
Having been a Melbournian most of my like I can not understand why there is any argument / rivalry between Melb / Syd , Melbourne absolutely Sucks in every respect and Sydney weather , restaurants, cafes etc are way better, end of argument. But Sydney traffic is worse but the fantastic Ferry service more than makes up for the road congestion.
Not that I'd ever live there , ..... I'm just saying
Real Australians are Black, all the rest are Boat PeopleQuote:

The Jewish community is big in the Eastern Suburbs as well, it's a wealthy attitude not racial, amazing when they travel on Buses, how they treat the drivers(the wealthy) you know the usual sprays of "I'll have your job" "I pay your wages" blah blah, can spoil your day if you let it and it's usually only a minority anyway.Quote:
