The Charades in Canberra

Funny theater in Canberra at the moment with Lead Actor Tony Abbott. He does not listen to the Australian people and only learn to say no no no in oppositon. Please give this guy a how on how to become an Australian Prime Minister.

NYE Fireworks

Sydney is preparing the best show in the World! Our Sydney NYE Fireworks - seen by more than 1.6 Million people - more than anywhere else in the World. New York and London have less people who watch the fireworks.
This year they have 7 barges, the Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge where they fire the fireworks from. Weather on NYE is 60% shower but in the morning and early afternoon so it should be dry when the first fireworks at 9pm start.

The Wet Season?

Maybe we are in the wrong place but lately we had so much deluge of rain you go surfing on the roads instead :)

Sydney Transport

Australia or Sydney or both could really learn a thing about some other cities or countries e.g Switzerland :). Finally Sydney is building 2 new tramlines. Hopefully they will be a hit so we get to see more tramlines? They still want to build a BRT (Bus Rapid Tranport Sytem) for the Northern Beaches. Are you kidding me? A light rail resp. Tram would be so much faster and can be sent in higher intervals. Get buses to shift people to the trams.
