Bungonia? | Sydney has vibrant drinking houses and a lively tradition to match. Join in the fun by following a local custom - after every third drink, catch the eye of as many people as possible and call out loudly, "It's my shout!". |

|
Or Hyde Park, Sydney? "Not now, I am busy!" |
If you want to see kangaroos, stand on George Street at 5.05 pm and yell "cooee" five times - reminding them to come out of their burrows under the Queen Vic building. |
|
Ok, so you found my spot! So here is a challenge to the rest of our readers: to take their own pictures of this place. (Hint: light is good late afternoon) The squatter (another hint) has no idea why people stop in front of his shed, I think. :) |
|
4 | The viewing windows from the Sydney Harbour Tunnel are open to the public outside peak hour. The best access is via the southbound tunnel: parking is provided at intervals along the tunnel. |
|
The wilderness photographer. Is that you Geoff? :) |
|
5 | Parliament House is open to the public .....From the public Gallery it is possible to see of Australia's finest actors, Robert Carr, perform in the role of Abraham Lincoln. |

August was cold in Sydney. This one reminds us of
spring. Bungonia again? |
When in the water at Bondi, always be sure to wave enthusiastically to the lifeguard, so he'll know exactly where you are. |
|
But the mountain is not focus. :( |
|
7 | Most Australian families leave all their clothes at the front door (a bit like the Japanese do with their shoes). If you are invited to an Aussies home, disrobe as soon as you enter the front door. |

That water looks cold. Yalwal in winter? |
Before attempting the traditional climb of the Opera House sails, always remove your shoes. |
|
A card from Prague.

|
9 | It is traditional to bargain with Sydney taxi drivers over the fare. On no account pay what is on the meter, as this will be sure to cause offence. |

Posed with ivy. | Tip: Tourists crossing the Harbour Bridge will be pleased to know that Bureau de Change offices are installed in all lanes, where you can change your home currency for Australian dollars. Feel free to haggle to get the best exchange rate. |
| Hi Steve! |
|
11 | When visiting the Opera House - rows A to K are best for mobile phone reception and for flash photography.... |

|
Tallow Beach? | Keep an eye out for one of the hundreds of delightful creatures that decorate our beautiful beaches, The Blue Bottle. You'll have hours of fun picking these creatures up by the tail and swinging overhead. |
| Back in Japan. |
|
13 | When surfing at Bondi, do not be surprised if a hooter sounds and the swimmers around you head for the shore. This is a local custom to allow our visitors to have uncrowded enjoyment of the waves..... and if you happen to have a shark appear - they are very tame and love to be patted on the nose. |
| This was the Olympic mascot when they were trying to make these the green games. Robert sent this to me in 1997. |

| You Kizaki chan. This reminds me of Uralla trip last year. Maybe this will go on page too. |
