Museum of contemporary art

Looks like she could do with a bra.
I liked the sculptures made out of starfish.

SCG

The Long Room, SCG. Apparently the pavilion pre-dates Lord's by two years. Lord's is more impressive though.

Bit of graffiti in the away dressing room.

Black swans

The famous Australian black swan. You have to be careful with them, they can break a man's arm with their wings.

Dame Edna Farewell Tour

Went to see Dame Edna's farewell tour and it didn't disappoint. Sir Les Patterson held court in the first half and then Dame Edna reigned after the interval.
Sir Les repeatedly spat on a couple on the front row and then dragged them up on stage. It turns out (unbeknown to Sir Les [i think]) that it was the American Ambassador and his wife!

Australia v Wales

First test at the SFS since 1998, and Wales must be wondering how they ended up on the wrong side of a white wash. Met up with Scotch Al (Matt Carver's old uni mate) for the game.
The Welsh were too spread out in the stadium to get any real singing going so it was a bit lacking in atmosphere. Turned out to be a one point game, Australia running out winners at 20-19. A welsh kick had struck the upright early on in the second half. On such things games are decided.

Sydney

I'm staying just around the corner from the harbour bridge and the Opera house. Caught up with Jen and Liz who I met in Chile. Great to see them again. They were on form, unlike me, I'm still suffering from some kind of lurgie. Really annoying. I've no appetite and feel I little sick the whole time.

Off to Oz

After a great 3 weeks travelling around NZ in the camper van it's off to Australia for a bit of a sportathon.
