I am here in Sydney- not so much for leisure but to do some serious science. I'm staying with Lara-Mings, in her fantastically located unit on Victoria Street, a block away from Oxfrord Street, Sydney's gay central. And where gay people are, fun and festivities usually follow. Other reasons why this place rocks my socks:
1. The street is popping full with restaurants and cafes. Thai restaurants pretty much dominate, with the occasional mod-aus restaurant. Right opposite is Tigerbakers, a stylish cafe that just invites one to sit and read the paper while sipping your skinny lattes.
2. It's 15 minutes walk into CBD.
3. Takes me less than 30 minutes to get to Uni.
4. Best of all: It's right next to a firestation (insert grin).
But really, aside from all these, what do I really think of Sydney? This time around it's slightly different since I'm not here as a tourist..I get to see the underside of Sydney- the ones that are not listed in the guide books or the tourist maps.
I'll set out with the camera tomorrow and hopefully Sydney from my eyes will be in print!
